This book explores the organisational role and professional identity of people within the university setting and approaches from terminological analysis to explore culturally specific terms. With the internationalisation of the university and the promotion of competitiveness among universities in the global academic arena, many universities in non-English speaking countries have started to develop a bilingual learning environment. The book outlines a framework for project management on translation in the university, using the university regulations translation project of the National Taiwan University as a case study. The book will help translators, terminologists, researchers and teachers understand phraseologies, language norms and sentence structure in university regulations. By opening up new avenues for research, the book constitutes a valuable contribution to the study of university regulation translation.

Federal regulations affect nearly every area of our lives and interest in them is increasing. However, many people have no idea how regulations are developed or how they have an impact on our lives. Regulation: A Primer by Susan Dudley and Jerry Brito provides an accessible overview of regulatory theory, analysis, and practice. The Primer examines the constitutional underpinnings of federal regulation and discusses who writes and enforces regulation and how they do it. Published by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, it also provides insights into the different varieties of regulation and how to analyze whether a regulatory proposal makes citizens better or worse off. Each chapter discusses key aspects of regulation and provides further readings for those interested in exploring these topics in more detail.
