Society, Regulation and Governance. New Modes of Shaping Social Change? - Regine Paul;Marc Mölders;Alfons Bora;Michael Huber;Peter Münte

This book brings together sociologists, political scientists, legal scholars and historians to produce an interdisciplinary critical evaluation of alleged 'new modes' of social change, specifically: risk, publics and participation. It makes three key contributions by:

offering a consolidation and re-appraisal of a debate that has become increasingly vague with its academic and political proliferationidentifying a uniting conceptual-analytical core between regulation and governance which explains the adaptability and innovation-mindedness of processes of 'shaping society're-focusing on the 'essence' of regulation and governance approaches - intentional modes of social change.

Society, Regulation and Governance will give significant insight into the potential and limits of new methods of social change, suiting a wide range of social science and legal academics due to its collaborative nature.
