'The book is consistently well written, with extensive in-text referencing and bibliographies at the end of each chapter. The empirical chapters frequently draw on the concepts and frameworks explained in the theoretical part, giving the book a level of cohesiveness that is rarely found in works of this nature. This book has practical value for state and non-state regulators in general as well as in specific policy areas. It is also a valuable resource for academics and students of legal theory, regulation and comparative law.'
