The Regulatory Review presents our top essays from the past year.
Throughout the past year, regulators from around the world have confronted new challenges posed by a variety of sources: the rise of artificial intelligence, climate change, and racial inequality, to name but a few of the many notable issues with implications for regulatory policy.
As 2023 comes to an end, those of us at The Regulatory Review reflect on the significant role of regulation in shaping both global and local events and addressing new challenges facing the world and our communities.
In this year-end series, The Regulatory Review highlights many regulatory developments from the past year as well as showcases the most widely read essays we have published during the last twelve months.
We first spotlight the top essays based on page views that we received from some of the world’s leading experts on regulatory law and policy. We then recap the most widely read essays written by our own staff members. Then, we turn to a selection of major regulatory news stories from the past year, as chosen by our associate editors who produce our regular Week in Review feature. Next, we are pleased to revisit all of our special essay series published in The Regulatory Review within the past year. And we also highlight the most widely read Saturday Seminars written by our staff members. Finally, we showcase, for the first year, all of the illuminating interviews with regulatory leaders and thinkers that we published this year as part of our newest feature: the Sunday Spotlight.
At The Regulatory Review, we not only recognize that it is a distinct privilege to publish new content every day on the most vital regulatory issues of our time. We also see it as our responsibility to provide this public service, educating readers from around the world about important regulatory issues and providing a neutral forum for engagement with a diversity of viewpoints. In what we publish every week, we seek to bring clarity to complex but consequential policy debates, opening a window into the fascinating and important world of regulation.
As the year comes to a close, we thank our readers and contributors for engaging with us throughout the year. And we extend to you our very best wishes for the new year.
