Abstract
From its earliest days regeneration has been characterized by a vague generality in its aims and an absence of an overall theoretical base. How far does regulation theory offer a plausible way of understanding regeneration policies? Early schemes had their origins in a Fordist model of full employment and a comprehensive welfare state – to compensate for the failures of the market – but there has been a discernible shift towards a post-Fordist model that rests on quite different foundations. Using this theoretical conceptualization, this article examines some of the reasons why a flawed model of regeneration continues to be promoted by New Labour in spite of its conspicuous failure to engage those socially excluded populations whom it claims to target.
