Abstract
1- INTRODUCTION
The importance of regulation has increased over the past 40 years and this has played a key role in economic growth as well as an important part of social progress; Because currently governments tend to interfere less in providing direct services, as a result, regulation has become a large part of their actions. Currently, governments are increasingly using contractual combinations, laws and other regulatory tools to achieve a wide range of social and economic goals.
With the passing of several decades and numerous and various researches, this concept, like other subjects and concepts in the field of human sciences, has undergone changes and transformations; In such a way that all the elements in the previous definition can be questioned and challenged:
Is the intervention in the matter of regulation, only in economic affairs and with the appropriate approach in this field?
Is the government the only regulatory institution?
Are laws and regulations the only regulatory tools and mechanisms?
If the answer to all the above questions is no; In this case, what definition of regulation can be provided that is comprehensive in all its points and types?
2- PURPOSE
The purpose of the current research is to identify the scientific, conceptual, instrumental and institutional scope in the field of regulation and also to evaluate the articles published in this field.
3- METHODOLOGY
In the first step, the theoretical and research literature related to regulation, focusing on: definition, tool, regulatory institution, and also through the lens of different sciences, was carried out in a descriptive-analytical way to get a general outline of the concept of regulatory process. A comprehensive approach should be achieved by considering all its dimensions.
In the next step, scientific-research articles published in recent magazines were studied in recent years to be evaluated according to the results of the first step; This stage was done in the way of critical review by examining 43 articles related to the concept of regulation in the period of 2020-2023.
4- FINDINGS
Evaluation of selected articles showed; Despite the influence of different sciences in the field of regulation, 72% of all articles have benefited from the field of law and 16 articles, i.e. 37% of all articles, have been written with the approach of economics. In 26 articles, i.e. 60% of all articles, regulation is defined as regulation. 29 articles, i.e. 67% of all articles, considered law and regulation as the only regulatory tool. In 37 articles, i.e. 86% of all articles, government institutions are introduced as regulatory bodies.
5- CONCLUSION
Comprehensive regulation means "the process of developing rules and regularizing public behavior"; That is, the cycle that begins with the identification and definition of regulatory standards, in accordance with the goals of governance, based on the principles, institutions and norms of society; And it is implemented by using innovative tools and mechanisms.
As a result, to modify the mechanisms of society administration; Scientific, conceptual, instrumental and institutional transformation in regulation is essential.
