NEED GOOD LINKS SUPPORTING CORPORATE REGULATION!

any help would be much appreciated!

I doubt it.

What do you mean by corporate? What do you mean by regulation? One would have to think of specific industries. For example, the "regulation" of pharmaceuticals through the Food and Drug Administration looks far different and takes on a different rationale than the regulation of energy, or the regulation of publicly traded securities. These again look different than regulation through quasi-governmental mixtures, such as laws requiring that an attorney be credentialed through a state bar association, or a physician through a state medical association. Are you simply looking for a rationale for a government's capacity and right to regulate anything at all? Why would you need a link to support THAT? And why should it be limited to "corporate" persons? You may as well ask for links supporting the government's right to grant drivers' licences (the regulation of the act of driving), or the government's right to require some measure of education through age 16 (the regulation of learning).

Perhaps more specificity (and some context for the request) would help you in your information search. You may also want to avoid all caps in your thread heading, since it is fairly annoying.

Here are the websites of the UK's 2 most powerful business regulator
offices.... i think the USA should be using this model.

This single regulator is in charge of ALL finance in all areas of the UK economy... the USA equivalent is a broken set of regulators that are not unified, whereas the businesses they regulate are... and hence why the republicans like to keep the regulation mechanisms the way they are as it is easy to circumvent.

This is a newly formed regulator to oversee all aspects of communications media including the internet, TV, telephony as the Uk has seen the light that internet technologies have unified a previously disparate regulatory paradigm.

Dow refuses to clean up Bhopal

Activists from the International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal wanted to give something back to Dow in January: a few barrels of the waste the chemical giant refuses to clean up. Dow’s response: arrests of over twenty activists. Their crime: unloading four barrels of waste transported from India aboard the Greenpeace ship “Arctic Sunrise” and delivering them to Dow’s largest chemical plant in Europe, near Terneuzen, the Netherlands.

The poisonous waste is only a fraction of hundreds of tonnes that have been strewn around the derelict pesticide plant in Bhopal since 1984 when Union Carbide, which is now owned by Dow, fled the city after a gas leak at the plant killed 8,000 people and injured half a million. No-one has accepted responsibility for the waste and the chemical company still refuses to clean up the site. For 18 years, chemicals have leaked into the soil and ground water in and around the factory site and have been poisoning people who survived the gas leak. Today, the death toll stands at 20,000 and is rising every day. Children born to survivors are suffering health problems and 150,000 people are in urgent need of medical attention.
