      <field key="753" subkey="">Abstract: While the interventionist state was characterised by a high level of centralisation in administration and policy making</field>
      <field key=", t" subkey="h">e regulatory state relies on extensive delegation of powers to independent institutions: regulatory agencies or commissions,</field>
      <field key="but" subkey="">also the judiciary, which is becoming an increasingly active player in the regulatory game. Delegation of important</field>
      <field key="pol" subkey="i">cy-making powers to non-majoritarian institutions raises novel problems of democratic legitimacy. This paper argues that such</field>
      <field key="pro" subkey="b">lems should be tackled not by limiting the independence of the regulators, but by strengthening the accountability structure.</field>
      <field key="Sim" subkey="i">lar problems arise at the European level. Here, too, the correct solution is a better accountability structure rather than</field>
      <field key="inc" subkey="r">eased politicisation. The de-politicisation of European policy-making is a consequence of the fact that the large majority of</field>
