Contemporary Challenges in Regulating Global Crises

Mark Findlay's treatment of regulatory sociability charts the anticipated and even inevitable transition to mutual interest which is the essence of taking communities from shared risk to shared fate. In the context of today's global crises, he explains that for the sake of sustainability, human diversity can bond in different ways to achieve fate.

'A mere half-century ago, regulation was almost exclusively the work of government employees attending to matters within defined jurisdictional boundaries. Today, regulatory processes are influenced significantly, and in some cases actually driven, by non-governmental actors whose endeavours transcend national frontiers. Professor Findlay's refreshing perspective on this new collaborative regulatory landscape deserves the attention of regulatory officials, the private sector, non-government regulatory activists, and scholars of regulation everywhere. His concept of regulatory sociability charts a course for governance in the 21st century.' - Peter Grabosky, Australian National University

'Mark Findlay employs a variety of techniques central to contemporary critical scholarship to move away from mainstream actor/agency-centered approaches to regulatory regimes. Instead, he focuses upon the systemic, or property-aspect, dimensions of regulatory breakdown that are manifest within economic crime and political corruption. The result is an innovative work that unambiguously claims alternative regulatory scholarship as an intellectual province of critical criminology.' - Eric Wilson, Monash University, Australia
