The Wisconsin Project on Governance and Regulation (WISGAR),
co-directed by David Trubek and Louise Trubek, supported research,
teaching, and outreach on new forms of governance and alternative
approaches to regulation. The project examined specific areas in
which regulatory activity was underway and explored changing
concepts of regulation and governance. Recently the project looked
at three areas: health care governance, transnational regulatory
regimes, and new approaches to environmental regulation in
Wisconsin. In addition to being a constituent project of the
Institute for Legal Studies, WISGAR was affiliated with the Center
for World Affairs and the Global Economy (WAGE), the UW Health Law
Project, and the LaFollette School of Public Affairs. While WISGAR
substantially completed its projects by 2008, plans are developing
for activities in 2009 and beyond.
