The aspirations of individuals, organizations, and states, and
their perceptions of problems and possible solutions circulate fast
in this instantaneous society. Yet, the deliberation of the
underlying public norms seems to escape the attention of the
public. Institutions enable people to have reliable expectations of
one another even when they are unsure of each other's aspirations
and purposes. Public norms enable people to act under conditions of
increasing uncertainty. To fulfill this role in society,
institutions need enhancement, maintenance, and innovation. Public
Norms and Aspirations aims to improve the methodology of planning
research and practice by exploring the co-evolution of
institutional innovation and the philosophy of pragmatism in
processes of action. As most attention in planning research and
planning practices goes to the pragmatic approaches of aspirations
and problem solving, the field is awaiting an upgrade of
institutional perspectives. This book aims to explore the
interaction of institutional and pragmatic thought and to suggest
how these two approaches might be integrated and applied in
successful planning research. Searching this combination at the
interface of sociology, planning, and law, Salet opens a unique
niche in the existing planning literature.
