本文考察了近年来美英两国围绕城市政治问题进行的理论交流。学者和政策制定者。概述了城市政体理论，追溯了它在美国的发展及其在英国的初步应用。考虑了使用城市政权理论，两个问题是孤立的，并询问：第一，理论转移的困难，在这种情况下，从美国到英国。第二，城市政体理论建构方式中的地方主义和地方主义问题。凯文考克斯的现实主义工作被纳入一个批评目前制定的政权理论。最后，本文指出了构建理想化的类型学的好处，但主张进一步理论化的政权理论，而不是围绕具体的例子，但通过这些社会嵌入的过程，导致可观察到的类型学的结果。
This paper examines recent theoretical exchanges around urban politics that have taken place between U.S. and U.K. academics and policy makers. Urban regime theory is outlined, its development in the U.S. traced and its initial application in the U.K. considered. Using urban regime theory two problems are isolated and interrogated: first the difficulty in theoretical transfer, in this case from the U.S. to the U.K. and, second, the problems of empiricism and localism embedded in the way urban regime theory has been constructed. The realist work of Kevin Cox is incorporated into a critique of the current formulation of regime theory. In conclusion, the paper notes the benefits of constructing idealized typologies but advocates the further theorizing of regime theory, not around concrete examples but through those socially embedded processes that result in the observable typological outcomes.
