Regulation is the management of complex systems according to a set of rules and trends. In systems theory,these types of rules exist in various fields of biology and society,but the term has slightly different meanings according to context. For example:

Governance is the process of interactions through the laws,norms,power or language of an organized society over a social system. It is done by the government of a state,by a market,or by a network. It is the decision-making among the actors involved in a collective problem that leads to the creation,reinforcement,or reproduction of social norms and institutions". In lay terms,it could be described as the political processes that exist in and between formal institutions.

The term regulatory state refers to the expansion in the use of rulemaking,monitoring and enforcement techniques and institutions by the state and to a parallel change in the way its positive or negative functions in society are being carried out. The expansion of the state nowadays is generally via regulation and less via taxing and spending. The notion of the regulatory state is increasingly more attractive for theoreticians of the state with the growth in the use and application of rule making,monitoring and enforcement strategies and with the parallel growth of civil regulation and business regulation. The rise of the regulatory state in the Industrial Revolution can be traced to network regulation first instituted by William Gladstone in 1844. The co-expansion of state,civil and business regulation at the domestic and transnational arenas suggest that the notions of regulatory governance and regulatory capitalism are as usefully theoretically as the notion of regulatory state.

Regulatory capitalism suggests that the operation maintenance and development of the international political economy increasingly depends on administrative rules outside the legislatures and the courts. In other words,it tells us that capitalism is a regulatory institution –one that is being constituted,shaped,constrained and expanded as a historically woven patchwork of regulatory institutions,strategies,and functions.
