ABOUT US
The School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet) tackles the big issues that define our time
For the last 20 years, RegNet has carried out transformative research that develops innovative ways of responding to the complex and interconnected challenges of the 21st century. Our work aims to enhance the governance of major social, environmental and health issues in the pursuit of a more just and equitable world.
RegNet is renowned for its paradigmshifting conceptualisations of regulation and governance. We are committed to understanding the many actors and institutions that are involved in steering the flow of events. Our approach to regulation is not limited to law and formal rules. Rather, it includes, for example, built structures like walls and stairs that shape our physical movement, the design of the internet, the operation of markets and the everyday norms that guide behaviour. Regulators are not just government agencies; they can be international networks, private organisations, religious institutions, civil society actors and customary leaders.
from different backgrounds sustains our vibrant community. We are united by a shared intellectual curiosity in regulation and governance and a commitment to deep and collegial engagement. Robust research is the foundation for our education programs, which are designed to train the governors and regulatory leaders of today and tomorrow.
Through this unique approach, RegNet’s research, education and outreach address some of society’s greatest concerns–climate change, conflict and injustice, disruptive technologies, economic and health inequality and geopolitical contestation. Working collaboratively, we generate theoretically informed and empirical research that contributes to policy, practice and public discourse in Australia, Asia, the Pacific and globally.
