Regulatory issues play an increasingly prominent role in the bureaucratic state. Regardless of one’s personal preference for specific regulatory content, there is virtual unanimity that where regulation exists it should be developed and implemented transparently, effectively, and efficiently. The panel will focus on American attempts to operate regulatory policy in this manner with emphasis on the relationship between the three branches of government, the role for analysis in regulatory development, and evaluation, and public involvement in developing new regulations.
