The paper is part of a special issue titled Understanding the Rise of the Regulatory State of the South with guest editors: Navroz K. Dubash and Bronwen Morgan. The full details of the winning paper are here: Chng NR (2012) Regulatory Mobilization and Service Delivery at the Edge of the Regu- latory State. Regulation & Governance 6(3), 344-361. The article explores the dynamics of mobilization by the informal sector, non- governmental organizations, and local organized communities at the edge of the regulatory state. Where state capacity to carry out regulatory, redistributional, and developmental functions is weak, governance and service delivery may be secured by a myriad of non-state actors. The investigation is based on extensive fieldwork carried out in the Philippines. More than a decade since the privatization of the Metropolitan Water- works and Sewerage System in Metro Manila in 1997, water access for the urban poor remained limited as privatized water utilities faced difficulties in extending service provi- sion. In the context of an unpredictable regulatory landscape and an oligarchic patrimonial state, unexpected collective action by organized urban poor communities and NGOs has taken place around water as a subsistence right. Combining hybrid mobilizations to obtain water as well as influencing the rules governing their provision, these forms of regulatory mobilization appear to be peripheral and episodic. However, depending on how local and sectoral politics are conflated, such regulatory mobilization may sometimes not only result in obtaining subsistence goods, but may also occasionally project countervailing power in the policy sector, and influence formal regulatory frameworks in surprising ways. The selection panel was composed of the editors, Prof. Tim Bartley (Ohio State Univer- sity), Prof. Cristie Ford, (University of British Columbia),Prof. David Levi-Faur (Hebrew University) and Prof. Walter Mattli (University of Oxford). The Editors and Wiley-Blackwell congratulate the winners and thank them for their valuable contribution to scholarship and the journal. Full details on the papers in the special issue are available from our webstie: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ rego.2012.6.issue-3/issuetoc The Regulation & Governance Prize comes with a US$500 award and a complimentary one-year print and online subscription to the journal. The next prize will be awarded for an article from Volume 7 (2013) and will be announced in early 2014.
