400 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. viii (1972)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0400 and id is 1 raw text is: INTRODUCTION In the past few years, several new programs of government regulation of business enterprise have been established by local, state, and federal governments in the United States, while some long-established programs have been revised and ex- tended. At the same time, old conceptions of administrative regulation have been challenged and defended, and new institutions have emerged to influence the regulatory process. This volume on The Government as Regulator attempts to focus attention, first, on several key aspects of government regulation of economic life, including pluralism in administrative regulation, the efforts to reform inde- pendent regulatory agencies, the place of hearing examiners, the work of the Ad- ministrative Conference of the United States, and the emergence of the movement of public interest advocacy and its impact on regulation. A second section reviews developments in seven fields of regulation. Three of these are existing programs now undergoing substantial change: insurance, coal mining, and nuclear power licensing. Four are new programs: hospitals, medical devices, environmental pro- tection, and cable television. Each of the essays in this section is concerned with the development of a strategy of effective regulation in the program it treats. These essays depart from some of the traditional concerns reflected in the pro- fessional writings about government regulation and the regulatory process. Typi- cally, lawyers have focused attention on the issues of procedural fairness and judicial review of administrative decisions. Political scientists, on the other hand, have usually concentrated on studies of administrative organization, structural reform of independent regulatory commissions, and airline regulation, fair trade practices, and broadcasting. In this symposium, a group of lawyers and political scientists take a critical look at these more traditional approaches to the subject of government regulation and analyze some major issues of public policy in several regulatory programs, including two or three that are still in the drawing-board stage at the time of writing.
