“…As a result, firms are more likely to come to accept regulation on the grounds that it is "desirable, proper, or appropriate" (Suchman, 1995, 574). Where regulation and its enforcement is legitimate, regulatees are generally more motivated to comply (Braun & Busuioc, 2020). Second, cooperative interactions improve the regulatory agency's reputation 3 among firms (Heimer & Gazley, 2012;Huising & Silbey, 2011;May & Winter, 1999;May & Wood, 2003).…”

When supervising emerging technologies, regulators are more effective when they collaborate with business. Yet, innovative businesses are often small, inexperienced, and mistrustful. How can regulators motivate them to collaborate? This study examines this question by applying responsive regulation theory to a case study of the United Kingdom's regulatory sandbox for financial technology. This study illustrates how frontline regulatory interactions foster regulator–innovator collaboration, in ways that differ from how these interactions foster collaboration between regulators and the mature industries upon whose study responsive regulation is based. As one of the first academic studies to collect data from sandbox participants, this article offers unique insights into “what works” about the United Kingdom's much‐imitated model.

“…This includes both substantive and procedural equity F I G U R E 3 Legal design principles for climate adaptation law considerations, including public engagement at appropriate geographical scales and with particularly affected groups (DeCaro et al, 2017). Public participation and consultation requirements may also improve the legitimacy of adaptation laws and create opportunities for more meaningful accountability (Braun & Busuioc, 2020).…”

The article evaluates the role of law in adaptation over the past decade. We track the emergence of international adaptation law within the climate and non‐climate regime, alongside increasingly dire extreme events and strident scientific consensus. Examining the growth in national and subnational laws for adaptation, we reflect on the role of framework legislation and legal mechanisms used in sectoral laws. Based on progress over the past decade, we outline how the role of law can be enhanced and accelerated in the decade ahead. We identify important trends in adaptation law and consider the potential for these innovations to drive future adaptation: the sheer growth in priority and volume of laws directed towards adaptation; the intersection of adaptation with other policy domains, especially disaster risk reduction; the need for improved architecture for funding adaptation; and the important role of strategic litigation. Largely absent from the past decade of adaptation law reform is evaluation of effectiveness, or examples of systemic reform that addresses underlying causes of vulnerability. With slow progress in implementing transformational adaptation law reform, we identify five design principles for adaptation laws. The design of laws must (1) be responsive to change; (2) address equity dimensions of climate change; (3) implement innovative solutions; (4) maximize co‐benefits; and (5) establish processes for managing trade‐offs. This article is categorized under: Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change > Institutions for Adaptation

“…Finally, particular attention is drawn over accountability and transparency issues (i.e. Braun and Busuioc, 2020;Buess, 2015;Busuioc, 2010;Busuioc et al 2011;Busuioc and Groenleer, 2013). Emphasis is placed on the fact that autonomy and accountability are different sides of the same story and keeping a balance between them is a challenging task, considering the opposing interests of major EU institutional actors (principally the Commission vis-à-vis the Council, and the European Parliament to some extent, particularly after the Lisbon Treaty and the institutional empowerment of the latter).…”

The purpose of this study is to explore the evolution of EU administration by focusing and critically examining the role of EU agencies in advancing the European integration project. The research question deals with identifying the factors that account for the formulation of EU agencies and the reasons behind their sharp increase in numbers since the 2000s. The tasks are to analyse critical EU agencies’ parameters such as their typology, the policy area they deal with, origin of their resources and funding, and their output. In addition, transparency and accountability issues accompanying the proliferation of EU agencies are also considered. Emphasis is placed on the evolution of the European administration as expressed by the establishment of various types of agencies since 1975 thereafter. Methodologically, the research utilizes quantitative data based on annual EU budgets as well as official reports and policy papers issued by main EU institutions (European Commission, European Parliament, European Court of Auditors) and agencies, analyzing them from a historical perspective. As a result, it is argued that the proliferation of EU agencies has advanced the process of European integration, namely the EU enlargement and expansion in new policy areas following successive reforms of the Treaties. However, concerns regarding accountability and transparency issues remain in place.
