Abstract

In order to progress towards more equitable social welfare systems we need an improved understanding of regulation in social sectors such as health and education. However, research to date has tended to focus on roles for governments and professions, overlooking the broader range of regulatory systems that emerge in contexts of market-based provisioning and partial state regulation.
