Abstract

This paper revisits Jessop's governance of welfare framework, suggesting that in the post-financial crisis era of austerity we need to look again at its analytical dimensions. The paper reformulates Jessop's Schumpeterian Welfare Postnational Regime ideal-type framework through critique, and then applies its reformulated Galbrathian, Affluent Postnational Oligarchy ideal-type to the case of the English NHS to present a new political economy of health.
