Regulations and Governance in European Cities

Abstract

In Europe today, the state is being challenged, and this is leading to renewed questioning of the linkages between social regulation and political regulation. Territories, or sub‐national levels (particularly towns and cities), can constitute one level on which different types of regulation are enmeshed and structured, and where a mode of governance is structured. This paper reviews the uses of the concept of governance by those institutionalist or regulationist economists who address the issue of territory, and then proposes an analytical framework — a sociological conception of governance. La remise en cause de l’État en Europe amène à réinterroger l’articulation entre régulations sociales et régulations politiques. Les territoires, ou niveaux infranationaux (en particulier les villes) peuvent constituer l’un des niveaux d’enchevêtrement et de structuration de différents types de régulation, de structuration d’un mode de gouvernance. Ce papier passe en revue les utilisation du concept de gouvernance chez les économistes institutionnalistes ou régulationnistes qui prennent en compte le territoire, afin de proposer un cadre d’analyse, une conception sociologique de la gouvernance.
