Programme 2 ‘Government, Regulation and Governance’ is staffed by those with a background in political science, law, and economics. It conducts research into instruments of government and governance that are broadly associated with the emergence of the ‘regulatory state’ and the ‘new public management state’. The research applies a range of institutional analyses, and aims to develop a better understanding of the way governments, regulators, and public office-holders are controlled by institutional and market mechanisms. In pursuit of these aims, CARR has an active agenda that develops links with regional centres of expertise in the UK and abroad. It provides:

• A programme of workshops held both in London and the regions. • Visitor-ships of varying durations for UK and overseas scholars. • An online searchable risk and regulation database for locating up-to-date information on researchers in the field. • An annual postgraduate conference bringing together students in the emerging Front row - Joan O' Mahony, Tracy Cohen, Julia Black, Mark Thatcher, Colin Scott, Yuval Millo. interdisciplinary area of risk and regulation.
