“…Key figures in the founding generation of (Parisian) FRS theorists define ‘model of development’ as the coupling of ‘mode of regulation’ and ‘regime of accumulation’ (Boyer & Saillard 2002; Lipietz 1988b). This conceptual framework is standard FRS canon to the present, but ‘model of development’, understood in the standard sense as a set of converging modes of national regulation that deliver stable accumulation, has slipped into dis-use because stable accumulation is absent in the present ‘post-Fordist’ capitalist world.…”

“…It refers to a national institutional framework that counteracts capitalism’s contradictory logic to deliver a stable and socially progressive pattern or ‘regime of accumulation’. Standard regulation theory derives the existence or absence of a model of development by the presence or absence of converging forms of counteractive regulation (Boyer & Saillard 2002; Lipietz 1988b). Contemporary analysis of the ‘post-Fordist’ world confirms this binary by contrasting the converging ‘in-regulation’ national experiences that define the post-WWII Fordist model of development with diverging ‘out of regulation’ national experiences that define the absence of a model of development for the after-Fordist world (Boyer 2005).…”

Bringing in the ‘neoliberal model of development’

This article brings in the concept of the ‘neoliberal model of development’ as a corrective to the prevailing emphasis in the literature that usefully describes neoliberalism as a nationally diverging phenomenon but does not adequately examine the mid-range trans-national/global regulatory connection or the logics of national convergence. By extending the concept of regulation and specifying the national trans-national connection, this article revises the original Parisian French Regulation School conception of a ‘model of development’ and makes it applicable to the contemporary neoliberal era. It then applies this revised conception to help explain contemporary patterns of national convergence and divergence. In particular, with reference to Marx’s theory of the ‘relative surplus population’, this article explores capitalism’s uneven development as a form of national variation intensified by the neoliberal model of development. This revisionist analysis of model of development also demonstrates how its praxis dimension is significant for explaining past and present mid-range variations of capitalism, and more importantly for making a mid-range counter-hegemonic future.

“…Thus, this revised VOC approach can explain institutional change in capitalist forms rather than only stability. Moreover, Boyer and Saillard (2002) and Boyer (2005) apply the Regulation Theory (RT) to analyze the diversity of contemporary capitalism. They find VOC emphasizes economics more than politics, so it is weak in explaining institutional change.…”

State Capitalism and Chinese Food Security Governance

Since the financial crisis of 2008–9, how a state can play a more active role in correcting market failure has become a central topic in political economy. Thus, academia is again discussing state capitalism seriously. Contemporary state capitalism assumes state intervention in markets is becoming more multifaceted. Consequently, traditional state-owned enterprises exist alongside new government-favored actors, such as privately owned national champions and sovereign wealth funds, intervening in markets. This coalition helps the state achieve its security, political, economic, social, and nationalistic goals more efficiently. Its growing power in markets also heralds the return of state capitalism. This paper uses state capitalism theories to re-interpret China's food security governance. The three preliminary findings are as follows. First, China's food security governance is typically operated under state capitalism, which has successfully managed China's foodavailability, though not without some corruption, but has weakened its foodaccessibility. Second, using state capitalism to manage China's foodsafetyhas been impeded, so the effects remain to be seen. Third, state capitalism has successfully improved thestabilityof the food supply and demand in China, but its agricultural business branching-out strategy has worried the international community and should be observed further.

“…Regulation theory emerged in France in the 1970s as a critique of neoclassical economic theories and structuralist approaches [23] and regulation theorists believe answers can be found in an analysis of the habits and institutional forms which induce or force agents to behave in ways which are not antagonistic to the reproduction of structures [24]. In this context, regulations can, therefore, be defined as the laws or intervention used to influence or constrain human behaviour [25] and, while regulation theorists distinguish between forms of economic and social regulation [26,27], it is the latter which is particularly relevant to this investigation.…”

The departure point for this investigation is to highlight the centrality of regulation theory as a praxis in planning enforcement. The value of the conceptual framework is demonstrated by application in the problematic arena of conservation regulatory compliance, where there is currently a dearth of investigation. It is evidenced that this thematic approach provides a lens to scrutinise problematic areas of control and provides a deeper understanding of the difficulties faced by planning enforcement operational practice generally and heritage regimes specifically. The utility of the proposed mechanism is that it remedies the current, well documented, pitfalls of disjointed, piecemeal strategies by providing a framework for robust, coherent decision making not only in planning but in the wider regulatory arena.
