The deregulation movement affecting the industrialized countries forced the governments to refocus their prescribed standards. In some jurisdictions, the difficulty raised by this practice resulted in the establishment, with the industry, of a negotiation plan for environmental agreements. In this document, we will explore the problematic of the characterization in law of environmental agreements reached by the administration and the industry. Furthermore, we will evaluate the pros and cons of using this system in the public administration. / The subject of this research is mainly based on the depollution attestation adopted in 1988 by the Assemblee Nationale du Quebec to oversee industrial wastes. In effect since 1993, the implementation of this authorization plan has been affected by the various discussions that took place between the pulp and paper industry and the ministere de l'Environnement (MENV). The Protocole d'entente sur la mise en oeuvre des attestations d'assainissement, negociated between the MENV and the Quebec Forest Industries Association in 2000, initiated the licensing procedure of the first depollution attestations to the paper manufacturers targeted by section IV.2 of the Quebec Environment Quality Act. Qualified as a gentlemen's agreement, we will define the obligations of all the parties involved according to the terms of this Memorandum of Understanding. In closing, we will analyze the operating licence systems based upon the integrated approach of the European Union and the United States of America. We will therefore be able to compare the openness to consensus with the industrial sectors of those plans with that of the depollution attestation.

Chapter 1 ---Does the party of government influence the amount and type of inward foreign investment? The results of a number of correlational studies provide inconsistent evidence. However none of these studies - for any level of government or any jurisdiction - have used methods that allow them to speak to causal effects. Regression discontinuity (RD) method is applied to a set of narrow-margin US gubernatorial elections. Over the course of a four-year term the election of a Republican governor causes a 21% boost in the growth of manufacturing-oriented FDI stock, compared to a Democrat. This effect is robust to a series of challenges. However, the same approach provides no evidence that partisanship matters for the overall level of FDI. Chapter 2 ---Does an economic shock open a window of opportunity for reform, and if it does, how does the institution of a state play a role? The paper investigates how economic shocks affect the structural reforms in various institutions. This paper addresses this issue by using the exogenous variation in the international price of large commodity goods to generate the exogenous change in national income. The analysis relies on a unique mapping between new annual data from 1962 to 2005 on economic shocks from commodity prices and structural reforms in 111 countries. I find significant heterogeneous effects across sectors in autocratic countries. In autocracies, positive economic shocks promote reforms in real sectors, but deter reforms in financial sectors. However the impact of economic shocks on structural reform in democratic countries is nil. Chapter 3 ---The deregulation of branch banking across the United States substantially increased the availability of credit to existing borrowers and others who has previously been excluded. Exploiting the staggered timing of changes across states for identification it is estimated that deregulation caused a 3.3% increase in rates of suicide and a 4.7% increase in rates of divorce. This is consistent with a large body of evidence linking excess debt to various measures of individual and relationship distress. Results are in most cases statistically significant at levels much higher than 1%, and prove resilient in a battery of robustness checks and falsification exercises.

This thesis deals with the analysis of deregulation and privatisation processes in the sector of Japanese transport, specifically in rail and air transport.The aim of this work is to analyse the context, progress and consequences of specific privatisation and deregulation steps in Japan's rail and airline sectors. The first chapter discusses the theory of privatisation and how the historical context of the 1980s provided fertile ground for its application in developed countries. The second chapter deals with the origin, historical development and usage of Japanese rail and air transport, as well as with important companies operating in these sectors. The third and final chapter describes the course and consequences of privatisation and deregulation processes in Japan's rail and airline sectors.

This thesis employs a qualitative content analysis of media sources to investigate the erosion of controls on elite actors under the Trump administration. Findings demonstrate the emergence of an aggressive new trend of deregulatory politics, involving the wholesale disarming of a wide range of regulatory bodies and regulators, removal of protective policies and safety nets for consumers, minority populations, and the environmental sphere. Concerningly, much of the rhetoric through which such actions are justified opposes rational modes of governance and further polarizes U.S. racial divides while undermining the media, courts and legal structures, and the scientific community as external regulators. This populist bent belies the extent to which neoliberal continuities are maintained and expanded. These aggressive changes foreshadow increasing opportunities for white-collar crime and elite deviance, as elite actors are left to self-regulate and navigate a fast-changing and nebulous regulatory landscape with lacking oversight and accountability. The implications of these findings are significant to the field of white-collar crime, suggesting a widening arena of opportunity for elite deviance and warranting a renewed challenge to crimes of the powerful. / Graduate
