Command and control regulation is an example of :

  • A.Authority based policy instrument
  • B.Information based policy instrument
  • C.Treasury based policy instrument
  • D.Organisation based policy instrument

Answer: A

Command and control regulation is an authority based policy instrument.

Christopher Hood classified the tools of government by the resource they use: nodality (information), authority, treasure (money) and organisation (the NATO scheme). Command and control regulation, where the state sets binding rules and penalises breaches, draws on the government's legal authority.

Information based tools persuade through publicity and advice, treasury based tools use grants, subsidies and taxes, and organisation based tools use the government's own staff and agencies to deliver directly. Regulation by command fits none of these.
