Abstract
Modern studies of public policy differentiate between three basic types of economic policies: (1) market regulation; (2) budgetary allocation and redistribution; and (3) macroeconomic stabilization (see for example Musgrave, 1959; Lowi, 1964). The EU supplies all three of these policy types: this chapter deals with market regulation, Chapter 9 tackles redistribution, and Chapter 10 looks at the macroeconomic issues involved in economic and monetary union.
Theories of regulation
Deregulatory policies: negative integration
Reregulatory policies: positive integration
Explaining EU regulatory policies
Conclusion: neo-liberalism meets the social market
