Do Estado Keynesiano ao Estado Schumpeteriano - São Paulo : Editora 34, out./dez. 2003

This critique aims to introduce Jessop's hypotheses on post-Fordist state. Based on regulation approach, the Keynesian and welfare state is taken as the ideal type state that underpinned the Fordist accumulation regime until 1970s. In order to response to the crises of Fordism and Keynesian state, new policies have been directed to reform state apparatus and policies. The Jessop's main hypothesis is that a 'hollowed-out' Schumpeterian workfare state is the best form to support the post-Fordist transition. In spite of pointing out some problems, the paper calls attention for the heuristic values of Jessop's hypotheses on post-Fordist state and their potentialities to guide case studies
