Abstract
For the past two decades urban regime theory has defined the urban politics agenda in agenda in the United States. Observers outside the US however have noticed that the theory does not provide an analytical framework for comparative urban politics research and that the theory to some degree is an abstraction of the US urban political economy. Instead, there is a growing interest in emerging theories on urban governance as a conceptual vehicle for cross-national research. The paper compares the two theories with regard to their potential as framework for cross-national urban politics research. It looks specifically at how the theories assess the role of inter-governmental relationships, participation in urban politics, and embeddedness in the urban political economy.
