Regulation, Governance and Regulatory Collibration: achieving an "holistic" approach

This paper examines the development of the regulation of corporate governance in the UK. It seeks to identify why the boundaries of law and self-regulation exist and whether the regulation of corporate governance should now be viewed as a process of collibration rather than a "homeostatic" process of setting unattainable standards. This paper suggests that regulatory developments in the area of corporate governance have taken a substantial new direction; that the boundaries of regulation are no longer determined by the choice between market-based or state-based regulation, but determined by a process of collibration.
