    La teoría de los recursos de poder (TRP) fue uno de los enfoques dominantes en el estudio del desarrollo de los Estados de bienestar de posguerra. Su idea básica es que los diferentes equilibrios de poder de clase explican las diversas formas adoptadas por estos. No obstante, cada vez más autores cuestionan su capacidad explicativa para dar cuenta del devenir de los Estados de bienestar postindustriales. Este artículo analiza los orígenes y contenidos de la TRP, revisa algunas de las principales críticas que ha recibido y sugiere una vía para la reformulación de este programa de investigación, mostrando que es un buen punto de partida para abordar las transformaciones recientes del Estado de bienestar y establecer un diálogo con otras áreas de investigación colindantes.

    Power resources theory (PRT) has been one of the dominant approaches in the study of the development of post-war welfare states. Its central idea is that different class power balances produce different forms of welfare states. However, scholars have increasingly questioned its explanatory ability to account for recent transformations in post-industrial welfare states. This article analyses the origins and contents of PRT, reviews three of the main critiques of the theory and suggests a path for the reconstruction of its research programme, arguing that it is a good starting-point for assessing recent changes in the welfare state and for promoting a dialogue with other neighbouring fields of research.
