Divergent Production Regimes: Coordinated and Uncoordinated Market Economies in the 1980s and 1990s

1999 Cambridge University Press eBooks 945 citations

Abstract

The systematic analysis of advanced capitalist economies has had two main focuses. One has been the welfare state: this owes much to the work of Esping-Andersen in distinguishing three welfare state patterns in advanced economies (Esping-Andersen, this volume; Stephens, Huber, and Ray this volume). His distinctions have been widely accepted. There is less agreement in the analysis of the other main focus – and the focus of this chapter – production regimes; Hall (this volume) relates the discussion in this chapter to other approaches, notably of Sabel and of Hollingsworth and Streeck. The concluding section of this book sketches links between the classification of production regimes advanced here and that of welfare states (Kitschelt, Marks, and Stephens, this volume).
