1989年克拉伦斯·斯通（Clarence Stone）对亚特兰大的研究发表后，城市政体理论开始崭露头角，尽管范斯坦和范斯坦（Fainstein and Fainstein，1983）以及埃尔金（Elkin，1987）的早期工作也有影响。从那时起，政体分析被广泛用于研究北美内外的城市政治。作者认为，政权分析的广泛使用是对其价值和见解的认可，但一些应用已经将这一概念延伸到其原始意义之外，以至于这一概念本身有可能变得毫无意义，并成为理论混乱的根源。通过筛选广泛的文献应用政权理论，作者重新建立的概念的核心组成部分，并确定其作出贡献的关键领域。有人建议，政权分析在很大程度上有助于重新定位北美的权力辩论，并在北美以外的政府正式机构，促进政治分析。
Urban regime theory came to prominence with the publication of Clarence Stone’s study of Atlanta in 1989, although earlier work by Fainstein and Fainstein (1983) and Elkin (1987) has also been influential. Since then, regime analysis has been extensively used to examine urban politics both inside North America and beyond. The authors argue that the wide use of regime analysis is a recognition of its value and insights but that some applications have stretched the concept beyond its original meaning to the point that the concept itself runs the risk of becoming meaningless and a source of theoretical confusion. By sifting through the extensive literature applying regime theory, the authors reestablish the core components of the concept and identify the key fields where it has made a contribution. It is suggested that regime analysis has helped considerably in reorienting the power debate in North America and in facilitating the analysis of politics beyond the formal institutions of the government outside North America.
