Abstract

This paper focuses on the ways that members of civil society often shadow and contest the central actors of the regulatory state. As well, it explores the consequences of transfer of the regulatory state to the global South, and the way this can shape both the role and impact of civil society. The transfer of the regulatory state ideal is written about in terms of: 1) Types of associations: expertise-based versus associations without expertise; 2) Transition to the Regulatory State versus Operation of the Regulatory State; 3) Civil Society: Blocking and Enabling, Complementary or Substitutive?
