Book Chapters
Regulatory theory is concerned with how various forms of regulation, including law, govern social interaction.

Through a brief examination of international regulation in Bosnia–Hercegovina and East Timor, this chapter asks what light a regulatory lens sheds on international law. Drawing on Hugh Collins's …
