`Distinguished academics and practitioners contributed papers, whose revised and edited versions have been masterly systematised in this book by Christopher McCrudden ... it holds great interest for anyone concerned with regulation and related issues anywhere ... McCrudden's book combines a mixture of good qualities: it is timely, descriptive and inquisitive.'
