Bandwagons and Quiet Corners in Regulatory Governance
International Review of Public Policy(2020)
摘要
Stakeholder engagement is often considered an essential component of regulatory policymaking
and governance. Our main aim in this paper is to explain variation in stakeholder engagement
across regulatory trajectories. More specifically we aim to assess why some regulatory
policymaking processes attract a larger and more diverse set of stakeholders, while others attract
much smaller and more homogenous regulatory crowds. We build on a newly established
dataset of primary data regarding stakeholder engagement in EU regulatory governance to test
our assumptions. We find that both the salience and the number of different consultation instruments
affect the density and diversity of stakeholder engagement, whereas the complexity
of regulations seems to mainly affect the density of stakeholder engagement. The combination
of both institutional and regulation-specific drivers of stakeholder engagement in regulatory
governance yields relevant implications for the study of responsive regulation and the role
stakeholders can fulfill in regulatory decision-making.
