ABSTRACT
Regulation of advertising is influenced by a country’s culture, economy, and various political and societal factors. Accordingly, the chapters in the book present the history and overview of advertising regulation in a country-specific way. This chapter is aimed at pointing out some noticeable features of advertising regulatory systems throughout the world. Similarities and differences across countries can be seen in areas such as methods of regulation, restrictions on specific types of ads, and areas of regulatory emphasis.
