From the Standing Group on Regulatory Governance
John Braithwaite is the 2021 winner of the Standing Group's Award for Regulatory Studies Development, which bestows recognition on a senior scholar for outstanding contributions to the development of regulation and governance studies.
John is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus and Founder of the Regulatory Institutions Network at the Australian National University.
He is a criminologist whose empirical and theoretical research on corporate crime and regulatory governance has been highly influential in developing the interdisciplinary field of regulatory governance.
John’s remarkable research output includes hundreds of articles, book chapters, edited volumes and authored books across an unusually wide spectrum of empirical and theoretical inquiry. His most important works are Responsive Regulation (with Ian Ayres, 1992), Global Business Regulation (with Peter Drahos, 2000) and the sole-authored Regulatory Capitalism (2008).
Amongst the core concepts in the field of regulatory governance which John has led (often collaboratively with other key scholars) on developing and applying are ‘responsive regulation’, ‘reintegrative shaming’, ‘meta-regulation’ and ‘regulatory capitalism’.
Since 2004 he has substantially focused his research on comparative peace building applying a similar theoretical lens, and equal theoretical rigor, empirical insight and humanity to major societal challenges associated with supporting global efforts to secure peace in some of the most troubled parts of the globe.
In addition to his path breaking and highly influential scholarship John has been a leader in building the field of regulatory governance, establishing the Regulatory Institutions Network at Australian National University, supervising and mentoring countless students and researchers, both formally and informally, building engagement between his research and numerous practice fields and as a founding co-editor of Regulation & Governance.
At the 2021 Biennial Conference, following the presentation of the award, John Braithwaite gave the Regulatory Studies Award Lecture, “Beyond Realist International Relations Theory in Governance of Global Crises”. You can view the presentation and lecture here.
