AUTHORS MEET CRITICS: Designing Rulemaking: How Regulatory Policy Instruments Matter for Governance

In today’s complex world, the process of crafting regulations is under greater scrutiny than ever before. Citizens and stakeholders demand transparency, while governments have embraced regulatory reforms aimed at improving rulemaking. But do these procedural tools — consultations, impact assessments, freedom of information acts, and Ombudsman offices — actually lead to better governance?

 

This is the central question addressed in Designing Rulemaking: How Regulatory Policy Instruments Matter for Governance, a collaborative effort led by EUI Professor Claudio M. Radaelli, alongside Florence STG researchers Jonathan Kamkhaji and Gaia TaffoniClaudius Wagemann (part-time Professor at the Florence STG, Full Professor at Goethe University in Frankfurt), and Claire Dunlop (Professor at the University of Exeter). The book builds on a major European Research Council (ERC) project, ‘Procedural Tools for Effective Governance’, to investigate whether the design of regulatory processes influences key outcomes such as business conditions, perception of corruption, and environmental performance.

 

The book is published by Oxford University Press (2024) and available in open access here.
