Biography
Eric Windholz is a Senior Lecturer and Associate with the Monash Centre for Commercial Law and Regulatory Studies. Eric's research focuses on regulatory theory and practice, or what he describes as the science and art of modern regulatory practice. Through this research, Eric explores how regulation, public policy and the law intersect to inform regulatory regime design and implementation. Eric's research has been applied to the examination of regulatory regimes in important social and economic domains including the environment, sport, consumer protection, occupational health and safety and disability services.
