A defense of regulatory agencies’ efforts to combine public consultation with bureaucratic expertise to serve the interest of all citizens.

The statutory delegation of rule-making authority to the executive has recently become a source of controversy. There are guiding models, but none, Susan Rose-Ackerman claims, is a good fit with the needs of regulating in the public interest. Using a cross-national comparison of public policy-making in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, she argues that public participation inside executive rule-making processes is necessary to preserve the legitimacy of regulatory policy-making.

Susan Rose-Ackerman ’67 and ’70 is Henry R. Luce Professor Emeritus of Jurisprudence, Law School and Department of Political Science and Professorial Lecturer in Law.

Nicholas R. Parrillo ’04 and ’12 is William K. Townsend Professor of Law and Professor of History.
