This paper highlights some critical elements in Anglo-Saxon literature on geographies of regulation and governance and discusses its validity for understanding patterns of urbanization. To this end, we intend to understand the socio-spatialembededdness of localities and their relationships to regulatory regimes, governance mechanisms and transformations of the state. We propose an analytical framework that highlights the institutional, territorial and non-territorial aspects of urban governance and the extra-economic forms that guide the various strategies of competitiveness adopted by contemporary cities. We discuss the multiscalar aspects of governance mechanisms and the complexity involved in its global regulation.
