The public interest theory of regulation claims that government regulation acts to protect and benefit the public. The public interest is "the welfare or well-being of the general public" and society. Regulation in this context means the employment of legal instruments (laws and rules) for the implementation of policy objectives. Public interest theory competes for acceptance with public choice and regulatory capture in explaining regulation and its effects on public welfare.
