Trust in Regulation in a Time of Revolution
This article examines trust in regulation as a core value and precondition of the modern liberal democratic regulatory state. It develops a concept of justified trust in regulation, grounded in regulatory trustworthiness—honesty, competence, and reliability—rather than in proxies such as partisan loyalty, blind faith, obedience, or resignation.

I identify three key …

Based on our interviews with corporate monitors, regulators, and others, we find that these monitorships are failing to meet their full p…
