Regulation Strategies in the European Economic Area

Hauptbeschreibung Regulation is one of the intensely debated big issues in developed market economies in general and within the European Economic Area in particular. To which extent regulation is reasonable and legitimate in the context of the European market economy and whether existing regulation is supported by strategies in the European Economic Area is the topic of this volume. Its eight contributions analyse three types of issues: the general role of regulation in the European Economic Area, the assessment of specific areas of European regulation (securities, consumer protection, anti-discrimination, environment protection), and criminal law as a new frontier in European regulation.
