Regulation is produced by multi-actor multi-level constellations. Researchers have described how actors in such constellations coordinate with each other. This article explores how coordination affects the decision-making autonomy of agencies, using a case study of energy regulation in Belgium. It describes the extent of autonomy from the parent minister and explores how the regulator coordinates with other actors at multiple levels of government. The findings indicate that de facto discretion of regulators can be increased or reduced by other governmental actors besides the parent minister. This calls for the development of a 'relational perspective' on (regulatory) agency autonomy, which looks at relations with multiple actors, even when these actors have no direct principle-agent relationship with the agency. - Reproduced. aEnergy resources aVerhoest, Koen aInternational Review of Administrative Sciences aN a104501 c104497d104497 00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 80, Issue no: 2pAR104961r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
