The Impact

AbstractWhile regulators, firms, and the courts must all be able to interpret regulations to best address economic and social issues, regulatory interpretation may vary greatly across parties. After introducing a framework to explain the impact of the complexity of written regulations and the complexity of the regulatory environment on regulatory interpretation, this paper utilizes regulatory examples to explore the challenges associated with regulatory interpretation. Several recent initiatives designed to improve regulatory efficacy are examined to assess potential methods available to reduce challenges associated with regulatory interpretation. When considered with the public policy implementation literature and research on networks in public policy, several implications emerge from the consideration of regulatory interpretation and recent regulatory initiatives. Regulators should pursue strategies to minimize the number of possible interpretations in the design of regulation and seek improved regulatory mechanisms to alleviate regulatory interpretation challenges. Furthermore, theoretical models should acknowledge regulatory interpretation to better assist in the design and implementation of regulation.

The Impact

This review compares the ethnographic research of Jessica Zacher Pandya’s Overtested: How High-Stakes Accountability Fails English Language Learners with the programmatic prescriptions of Yvette Jackson’s Pedagogy of Confidence. Both texts are concerned with the impact of standardized testing on urban students, but the focus of each book is quite different in terms of public policy on education and the way teacher roles are construed.

Regulatory Decisions

The article reviews both the provincial and federal legislative frameworks governing access to oil and gas pipelines, with emphasis on dispute resolution options in the case of access and toll disputes. These codified resolution obligations are compared with the traditional common law common carrier obligations, and it is demonstrated that the latter still play an important role in today's regulatory environment. Key regulatory decisions of both the National Energy Board and the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board are examined to demonstrate both the approaches of these bodies in encouraging settlement of outstanding issues and their attitudes toward yielding regulatory jurisdiction when parties' affairs have been arranged by contract. It is demonstrated that these regulatory bodies still maintain jurisdiction over some aspects of oil and gas transportation even where parties have agreed to privately drawn oil or gas pipeline contracts and will not hesitate to interfere given the right public policy concerns.

Fact Finding

The last quarter century has witnessed a rising tide of skepticism among scholars about the link between information-gathering and policymaking. Drawing on several decades of research and rethinking, students of organizational behavior concluded that organizations collect information for reasons that have more to do with organizational dynamics than with the making of choice. Students of public policy found high-stakes policy controversies deeply resistant to recourse to “the facts.”

Pastoral Farming

Pastoral farming in New Zealand has always been a dynamic and uncertain business. Climatic conditions, market forces and the regulatory environment confronting pastoral farmers each have a long history of change, often rapidly and markedly. It is not surprising then that pastoral farmers are a resilient bunch. It is also not surprising that in respect of anthropogenic climate change some farmers are sceptical of what they see as another passing fashion in science, public policy and environmentalism - change to be weathered.

Ebb And Flow

Holly Case’s most adventurous work as of yet seeks to juxtapose patterns common to nineteenth century publicists’ questions in order to reveal the contradictions of the age. Case devotes each chapter to a particular theme or ideological quality of the querists, which are in dispute with one another, and yet feature common idioms of progress and geopolitical reconfiguration. Internal to each chapter are the oxymoronic imbrications between conceptual polarities such as nationalism and the international public sphere, war through peace, gravitas with farce, and more. Case explains the prevalence of high-stakes public policy, prospects of war and the convulsive realignment of empires and nations through the persistent bundling of many of these questions. She addresses the ebb and flow of popularity of many era-spanning questions, which strengthens her attempt to provide a genealogy for the crises and ‘questions’ of our current era, and her accounting for how queristic contradictions were perceived to be transcended. It is reasonable to suggest that Case has provided a foundational step for an emergent niche of epistemological inquiry in the historical discipline, not unlike Benedict Anderson’s contribution to the study of nationalism through his magnum opus Imagined Communities.

Research Choices

This paper uses a study of the factors affecting the location of research in the biomedical industry in Australia to show the complexity of the relationships among the Triple Helix strands – government, industry and universities – in determining research location. Central players, hospitals, are major locations for research but are highly regulated, as is all the medical industry, and depend much on broad public policy determinations about funding which are not directed at research. Changes to the regulatory environment affect research choices players make while technological advance alters the field on which both researchers and firms play.
