Abstract
Over the past decade, a "representation revolution " has transformed the politics of state regulation. Public hearings, the creation of ombudsman and proxy advocacy offices, and the appointment of laypersons to expert boards have provided platforms for representatives of broad, diffuse interests. For the most part, these forms of public representation have been effective, though they have involved different resources, strategies, and goals. The principal exception to this pattern is public membership on occupational licensing boards, which has not succeeded. However, utility regulation, environmental regulation, and nursing home regulation have all been improved by new forms of public representation.
