Regulatory Politics in the European Union: Weighing Civic and Producer Interests

by Alasdair R. Young, Helen Wallace

This study details the variety of European regulatory politics as it reaches into the so-called finer points of the European market. Case studies on transport, the environment, and consumer protection illustrate the efforts made to include the concerns of consumers, environmentalists and other social actors, alongside those of the industries concerned. This penetrating analysis of the single European market reveals just how many opportunities there are for different interests to influence the process.
