An Introduction to Law and
Regulation: Text and Materials
by Bronwen Morgan
(Author), Karen Yeung (Author)
In recent years,
regulation has emerged as one of the most distinct and important fields of
study in the social sciences, both for policy-makers and for scholars who
require a theoretical framework that can be applied to any social sector. This
timely textbook provides a conceptual map of the field and an accessible and
critical introduction to the subject. Morgan and Yeung set out a diverse and
stimulating selection of materials and give them context with a comprehensive
and critical commentary. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach and
emphasising the role of law in its broader social and political context, it
will be an invaluable tool for the student coming to regulation for the first
time. This clearly structured, academically rigorous title, with a
contextualised perspective, is essential reading for all students of the
subject.
