Reinventing regulation within the corporation : compliance-oriented regulatory innovation - Thousand Oaks : SAGE, November 2000

Compliance-oriented regulation should be understood as a holistic approach to regulatory design, implementation, monitoring, and esforcement in which the guiding principle is the achievement of regulatory outcomes. Compliance-oriented regulation is therefore distinctively concerned with the effects of public regulation in preexistent regulatory space where it must compete with private normative orderings. This article sets out the principles of compliance-oriented regulatory innovation together with evidence on their effectiveness.
