A diagram showing the contribution of each new rule to the overall capacity for governance coordination over time; i.e. the ’improvement’ of governance provided by each new rule. The different phases are visible with an increasingly strong improvement until a turning point, where the improvement then becomes weaker. An example of a reading for the Swiss case (brown curve): From 1850 onwards, each new rule increasingly improves the ability to coordinate. This capacity stagnated at its peak during the first part of the 20th century, only to decline gradually. Thus, in 2006, the capacity to improve the coordination of each new rule returned to a level on the order of that reached in the second half of the 19th century. © UNIGE

UNIGE - Researchers from UNIGE and UNIL analysed water governance in six European countries from 1750 onwards. They demonstrated that there has been an inflationary trend in the number of regulations, and that - far from improving the situation - this has led to serious malfunctions in the system.
