The Doctrine of Inevitability

[Bill Cochrane]

I should have noted in my post on recent regulation school stuff Jacob
Torfings  (1998). Politics, Regulation and the Modern Welfare State. New
York, St Martin's Press, a most interesting book that attempts a synthesis
of state theory, regulation school and critical discourse analysis.The
general view here seems to be that while Torfing is only partially
successful in this venture he gets hugh points for effort.
