Developing states with limited regulatory capacity might benefit from a responsive approach to regulation. Responsive regulation is a democratic ideal, incorporating notions of deliberative democracy and restorative justice. Responsive regulation conducted by regulatory networks of governmental and non governmental actors allows for networking around capacity deficits.
NGOs play a vital role in this kind of regulation. By utilizing NGOs and local social pressure, developing countries might develop a “regulatory society†model, bypassing the regulatory state.
Where capacity remains limited, private bounty hunting (such as fees for successful private prosecutions) may become an appealing tool for achieving certain regulatory objective.
