Regulatory Evolution

The book examines historical regulatory shifts and analyzes the impact of globalization, the digital economy, and technologies like artificial intelligence. It uses legal case studies, economic data, and policy analyses to support its arguments. The evolutionary framework suggests regulations evolve through mechanisms akin to natural selection, where only the fittest rules survive. This approach provides a unique perspective on understanding and designing resilient regulatory systems.

The book progresses by first establishing a historical context, then delving into the drivers of regulatory change, and finally considering the influence of evolving social needs. It is written for a broad audience, including policymakers, legal professionals, and academics, offering insights applicable to real-world challenges such as regulating emerging technologies and adapting rules for environmental sustainability and data privacy.
