ABSTRACT
What is a regulationist growth model? If régulation theory is to assert a strong identity, recognising the ‘standards’ of the discipline and the role played by formalisation, it must answer this type of question clearly. Some commentators have argued that régulation theory fails precisely through its inability to formalise its main perceptions (Cartelier and De Vroey, 1989), that it produces well crafted Marxist or Keynesian models which are not, however, specifically ‘regulationist’ (Duménil and Lévy, 1993).
