Abstract
This introduction to our special issue discusses the challenges related to the cooper-
ative and competitive interaction between national regulators, regulatory networks,
and European agencies within increasingly complex EU regulatory regimes. In this con-
text, a special attention is given to the dynamic nature of multilevel processes. After
presenting an overview of the contributions to the special issue, we conclude by offer-
ing three insights on possible avenues for further research, referring to (a) the gover-
nance structure of regulatory networks, (b) the micro-foundations of regulatory net-
works, and (c) their role in implementation and enforcement.
