Case research: enforced self- and customer regulation of nighttime venues during the first 15 months of the COVID19-crisis in Amsterdam

Abstract onderzoeksartikel 2022

Onderstaande tekst bevat de voorlopige samenvatting van een wetenschappelijke onderzoekartikel naar de regulatie van het nachtleven van Amsterdam tijdens de coronacrisis. Het artikel is onderdeel van een promotietraject 'Ondernemingsregulatie in het nachtleven van Amsterdam'.

"During the COVID19-crisis regulation of nighttime venues in Amsterdam takes place in a regulatory arrangement of enforced self- and customer regulation. As possibilities for business are heavily conditioned by the COVID19-regimes, the research assumes that, when non-compliance proves to be profitable, nighttime venues will actively resist enforcement by local authorities to such an extend, that regulatory arrangements resolve. In everyday practices during the first 15 months of the crisis, however, when enforcement enacts on non-compliance, nighttime venues restore compliance of self- and customer regulation. Alternatively, when customer non-compliance is recurrently constituted over crowding areas and cluster transgressions, regulations deadlocks occur, if enforcement does not acknowledge the lack of regulatory capacity of nighttime venues to restore compliance."
