Cambridge Handbook on Compliance – Prof Van Rooij UvA

Compliance has become key to our contemporary markets, societies, and modes of governance across a variety of public and private domains. While this has stimulated a rich body of empirical and practical expertise on compliance, thus far, there has been no comprehensive understanding of what compliance is or how it influences various fields and sectors. The academic knowledge of compliance has remained siloed along different disciplinary domains, regulatory and legal spheres, and mechanisms and interventions. This handbook bridges these divides to provide the first one-stop overview of what compliance is, how we can best study it, and the core mechanisms that shape it. Written by leading experts, chapters offer perspectives from across law, regulatory studies, management science, criminology, economics, sociology, and psychology. This volume is the definitive and comprehensive account of compliance. During this book launch Marieke Kluin (Leiden University, Criminology), Frédérique Six (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Political Science and Public Administration and GOVTRUST centre University Antwerp), Chris Reinders Folmer and Benjamin van Rooij (both University of Amsterdam, Center for Law and Behavior) will discuss the field of compliance, the key mechanisms at play and core methods of studying compliance. The event will be hybrid, both on campus at Amsterdam Law School and via Zoom.
