Massive changes are taking place all over the world in redefining the relationship between government and public and private institutions. Nowhere is this redefinition more urgent than in communications, where widespread privatisation and deregulation of telecoms and broadcasters has created a need for new modes of corporate governance in the new global marketplace. In "Regulated Self-Regulation" Wolfgang Schulz and Thorsten Held set out to find answers to key questions relating to the changing role of government in regulating the transnational communications industry and to provide a 'tool-kit' for what they call regulated self-regulation applicable across the world.The authors address the following questions: Under what circumstances and in which sectors can the industry be trusted to regulate itself? Under what conditions can a sector of the industry be regulated to enhance the interests of the players (especially economic enterprises) in achieving the regulatory objectives? How can the overall regulatory objectives be protected? How can the state enforce self-regulation by administering tools effectively?
The authors come up with conclusions that are both original and challenging, suggesting a more modest but nevertheless crucial role for state action in the sector.
