Regulation at the Cross-roads: A Conversation

Abstract

This article is an edited version of the roundtable that took place at the Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE) in Mexico City, June 6th, 2018. Based on a set of key questions about regulation as a field of studies with implications for public administration, public management and public policies, as well as a fundamental activity of multiple organizations and numerous public servants, Sharon Gilad, Andrea Mennicken, Salvador Parrado, Bruno Queiroz Cunha and Martin Lodge participated in a free flowing conversation hosted by Mauricio I. Dussauge-Laguna. Their commentaries and points of view about theoretical and empirical developments of regulation around the world provide some interesting insights into the state of this field, its essential debates and its future implications (both theoretical and practical).
