The Next Layer - regulation theory http://tnl-6.local/taxonomy/term/1156/0 en-US Stress Test for Regulation Theory http://tnl-6.local/node/1328 <p>On 8th and 9th of July 2010 I attended the conference "Regulationstheorie in der Krise" (Regulation theory in the era of crisis) jointly organised by the University of Vienna and the Renner Institute (political academy of the Austrian Social Democratic Party, SPOE). The title transports a double meaning, it refers to the crisis of regulation theory as well as to what has regulation theory to say about the current crisis? I do not claim to be an expert in economics and I am also a newbie to the regulation approach. However, I found this conference very interesting and thought provoking, so I try a summary in English. </p> <p><a href="http://tnl-6.local/node/1328" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://tnl-6.local/node/1328#comments English Conference Technopolitics capitalism crisis regulation theory Technopolitics Sun, 11 Jul 2010 12:19:56 +0000 Armin Medosch 1328 at http://tnl-6.local Beyond the Regulation Approach http://tnl-6.local/node/1235 <p>A book by the leading English-language regulationist, Bob Jessp, with co-author Ngai-Ling Sum, focusing on the characterization of Fordism, its breakdown and ways to characterize the period "after Fordism" in its qualitative differences, particularly due to the fully global and therefore, multicivilizational dimensions of the new regime of accumulation.</p> http://tnl-6.local/node/1235#comments English Book Technopolitics regulation theory Technopolitics Mon, 07 Dec 2009 17:07:28 +0000 1235 at http://tnl-6.local
