Abstract
The argument developed here is that, building upon the foundations of regulation theory and drawing upon the well-established body of work on restructuring, a more robust theoretical framework can be constructed. The paper will focus on two major omissions in contemporary debates: the question of social regulation itself will be foregrounded; and the issue of uneven spatial development will be revisited. The paper is divided into three parts. The first critically examines the foundations of the regulation approach and established a set of principles for regulationist studies. This is followed by a discussion of the role of time and space in regulation theory. The third section begins to operationalise this approach in an examination of social regulation and regional economic restructuring in contemporary Britain. -from Authors
