Paper Summary:

This paper explores the works of two scholars in regulation analysis, Robert Baldwin and Martin Cave. The paper presents their arguments about whether or not there can be 'good' regulation, what this means and how regulation can be defined and practiced in developed and developing countries. Problems in achieving the essentials of regulation are discussed and recommendations are made drawing on a wide cross-section of case-studies and examples from the U.S., U.K., Africa, the Caribbean and South East Asia.

From the Paper:

"The topic of regulation is one of elusive character, both in conceptual meaning and in practice. Given the fact that regulation is eclectic and multidisciplinary, the idea of good regulation is difficult to be achieved considering many factors such as the public and private sectors as well as voluntary or community groups and even academics to whom such "good regulation" might mean different things. Contributing to this mode of dissension is the fact that economists and political scientists seem to treat regulation differently, as the former accentuate regulation for efficiency and the latter concentrate on the matter of public interest."
