Politics and Conflict in Governance and Planning offers a critical
evaluation of manifold ways in which the political dimension is
reflected in contemporary planning and governance. While the
theoretical debates on post-politics and the wider frame of
post-foundational political theory provide substantive explanations
for the crisis in planning and governance, still there is a need
for a better understanding of how the political is manifested in
the planning contents, shaped by institutional arrangements and
played out in the planning processes. This book undertakes a
reassessment of the changing role of the political in contemporary
planning and governance. Employing a wide range of empirical
research conducted in several regions of the world, it draws a more
complex and heterogeneous picture of the context-specific
depoliticisation and repoliticisation processes taking place in
local and regional planning and governance. It shows not only the
domination of market forces and the consequent suppression of the
political but also how political conflicts and struggles are
defined, tackled and transformed in view of the multifaceted rules
and constraints recently imposed to local and regional planning.
Switching the focus to how strategies and forms of depoliticised
governance can be repoliticised through renewed planning mechanisms
and socio-political mobilisation, Politics and Conflict in
Governance and Planning is a critical and much needed contribution
to the planning literature and its incorporation of the
post-politics and post-democracy debate.
