Not an easy question to answer, The regulation school isnt monolith of 
established theory and solidified dogma ( apoint Jessop captures well in 
"Regulation theories in retrospect and prospect".) rather its a number of 
trends that share a similar perspective, some common terminology, and a 
concern with the seemingly paradoxical fact that while capitalist 
reproduction is a contradictory and crisis prone process periods of 
prolonged relative stability ( in terms of the profit rate and the rate 
of accumulation) are historically observable.	
Though of Marxian origin, in that the original proponents of these views 
where French marxian economists reacting to Althussers Structuralism, the 
RS borrows freely from a number of sources, such as Kalecki, Keynes, and 
has become increasingly eclectic.
