Dr. Derek Ireland, who teaches the Winter term of PAPM 1000, spent the last five months of 2011 as Team Leader of a consulting group that worked with the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Secretariat to improve the design and enforcement of competition policy and law across SADC’s 15 member states. The assignment was funded by the European Union and was conducted for the most part at the SADC Secretariat in Gaborone, Botswana.
His article, “Rise and Fall of Regulatory Regimes: Extending the Life-Cycle Approach” will appear in the 2012-2013 edition of How Ottawa Spends. He also presented a paper on the subprime mortgage crisis to the second CUTS-CIRC Conference on Economic Regulation in New Dehli. The paper will appear in a book that will result from the conference, scheduled for publication in 2012.
Dr. Ireland is happy to discuss his research and consultancy work with any interested students.
