Regulating for Competition: Government, Law, and the Pharmaceutical Industry in the United Kingdom and France

The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most closely regulated sectors of the Western economies. In this study, Hancher provides one of the first comprehensive analyses of the regulatory systems in France and the United Kingdom, with particular focus on safety, control of price, profit, and promotional restrictions. She offers an examination of regulation as a dynamic process, exploring its impact on the operating environment of major research-based firms, and comparing the ways in which different legal cultures may provide different opportunities or impose different forms of constraint on policy makers.Hancher, Leigh is the author of 'Regulating for Competition: Government, Law, and the Pharmaceutical Industry in the United Kingdom and France', published 1990 under ISBN 9780198275701 and ISBN 0198275706.
