PhD Defence Jan Broekhuizen 'Values in Financial Regulation'

On 9 June 2022 at 11:00 a.m., Jan Broekhuizen will defend his PhD on 'Value Pluralism in Financial Regulation: a philosophical perspective on a regulatory regime'.

This PhD project explores financial regulation and its interaction with private law from a philosophical perspective. It focuses on the conceptually interrelated ideas of care, autonomy and trust and their transformations in the financial regulatory regime. The aim is to discuss these transformations in a regulatory setting as well as to consider their relevance for private law and its place in a transnational regulatory regime. The research method adopted in this interdisciplinary project is an empirically informed philosophical reflection on the phenomenon of regulation, particularly retail financial regulation. The project engages in a normative exploration and critique of this regulation.
