Translation and Definition
Bob Jessop summarises the difficulties of the term in Governing Capitalist Economies, where he states: "The RA seeks to integrate analysis of political economy with analysis of civil society and or State to show how they interact to normalize the capital relation and govern the conflictual and crisis-mediated course of capital accumulation. In this sense, 'régulation' might have been better- and less mechanically-translated as regularization or normalization" (p 4). Therefore the term régulation does not necessarily translate well as regulation. Regulation, as in the sense of government action, does have a part in regulation theory.

Famous quotes containing the words translation and/or definition:
“Whilst Marx turned the Hegelian dialectic outwards, making it an instrument with which he could interpret the facts of history and so arrive at an objective science which insists on the translation of theory into action, Kierkegaard, on the other hand, turned the same instruments inwards, for the examination of his own soul or psychology, arriving at a subjective philosophy which involved him in the deepest pessimism and despair of action.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
“It’s a rare parent who can see his or her child clearly and objectively. At a school board meeting I attended . . . the only definition of a gifted child on which everyone in the audience could agree was “mine.””
—Jane Adams (20th century)
