Regulierung im Interesse des Gemeinwohls: eine kritische Bilanz

Public Interest Regulation: a critical reappraisal

Die Regulierungstheorie kreist um zwei Fragen: Welche Rolle spielen die betroffenen Interessengruppen in der regulativen Politik und der Regulierungsverwaltung und inwieweit wägt die Regulierungsverwaltung zwischen dem Interesse des Gemeinwohls und den regulierten Interessen innerhalb des privaten Sektors ab? Dieser Artikel vergleicht drei Theorien – die klassische Public Interest-Theorie, die Capture-Theorie und die moderne Credible Commitment-Theorie. Die ihnen zugrundeliegende Logik und Annahmen werden herausgearbeitet und die empirische Reichweite jeder Theorie aufgezeigt. Zu guter Letzt wird noch auf der Grundlage bestehender Untersuchungen herausgearbeitet, ob es Belege für diese Theorien gibt. Der Artikel kommt zu dem Schluss, dass alle höchstrelevante Themen angehen, allerdings in einem stark politisierten Umfeld. Interessant ist die Beobachtung, dass diese Politisierung Veränderungen und Reformen zwar nicht im Wege gestanden ist. Das Veränderungsmuster ist jedoch nicht den Mustern gefolgt, die von der Capture- und Credible Commitment-Theorie vorgeschlagen wurden. Dieser Artikel trägt daher zur Rehabilitierung der klassischen Public Interest-Theorie bei, wenn auch in einer moderaten und verbesserten Form.... view less

Two questions remain central in the study of regulation. First, what is the role of affected interests in regulatory policy and administration? Second, to what extent does regulatory administration balance the public interest against the regulated interests within the private sector? The paper here compares three different theories and the research based on them. These theories are classical public interest theory, capture theory, and the modern theory of credible commitment. Their underlying logic and assumptions are identified and the empirical scope of each of the theories is set out. Finally, it is discussed, on the basis of existing research whether there is supporting evidence for them. The conclusion is that they all cope with highly relevant issues but also points to the persistence of a highly politicized environment. The interesting observation is that this politicization has not excluded change and reform but the pattern of change has not followed the patterns proposed by capture and credible commitment theory. To the contrary the paper contributes to the rehabilitation of classical public interest theory, although in a modest and refined form.... view less
