This book examines regulatory capacity beyond the nation state. It suggests that we can only understand why EU agencies are able to build EU regulatory capacity if we acknowledge that national regulators provide their expertise, staff and resources to the regulatory processes taking place in these EU bodies. This raises the puzzle of why national regulators are willing to provide ‘life support’ to potentially rival organisations. The book is devoted to answering this question in order to understand how EU regulatory capacity is created in the absence of a full supranational regulatory bureaucracy. To do so, the book studies to what extent national regulators from two countries (the UK and Germany) support EU agencies in their work across four policy sectors (drug safety, food safety, maritime safety and banking supervision). The book makes a significant contribution by developing a bureaucratic politics perspective that highlights the importance of national regulators for EU regulatory capacity building.

The role of central banks as a hinge on which the financial system rests has returned to the top of the political agenda in recent years. The global financial crisis has resulted in many changes for central banks, including renewed power in financial supervision and reduced restrictions in their implementation of monetary policies. This book argues that central banks play a key role in financial systems, presenting the European Central Bank as a specific example of an institution that uses its uniquely independent position and wide margins of discretion to provide an array of important functions. It illustrates how central banks promote the security and efficiency of payment systems, pursue price stability, and accommodate the optimal utilization of the resources, labour and capital available to an economy. Stabilising Capitalism demonstrates how these institutions also aid in dealing with the risk of financial collapse and permit the continuity of public expenditure when the government is unable to place securities in the bond market. The author concludes by suggesting that although many consider the idea of this role for central banks to be outdated, these institutions form the root of the capitalist market economy and act as a bastion against financial instability.

This practical guide to understanding how regulators build insight and form judgements will help organisations to develop their strategy and approach to engagement and to improve their regulatory outcomes. From robot-assisted surgery and advances in stem cell technology, the explosion in use of social media and advances in computing power to the development of autonomous vehicles and digital environments such as the metaverse, these exciting developments present questions, invite debate and have implications. These rapid new developments also join a world described as being increasingly VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous), making industry-regulator relationships more important than ever to prevent consumer harm and to configure business success. This book is written for those who wish to build positive and progressive relationships with their regulators in these exciting times of rapid advancement. From developing their strategy, through to the practicalities of how to prepare and engage with regulators, readers are navigated through an ecosystem of insight to help build an understanding of what informs their regulator’s opinion and judgements. Underpinned with real-world experiences and examples, this book shows that, through clearer strategic focus and more effective relationships, organisations can refine their approach and build their relationships to drive mutually beneficial regulatory relationships that avoid negative consequences and unnecessary costs. Board members, executives, senior leaders, risk, compliance, legal professionals, regulators, and students of business, finance, and law will refer to this book again and again to guide holistic thinking about regulatory relationships and use the insights these can provide to help them calibrate their actions, activities, and progress.
