Publisher's Synopsis
Focusing on planning as a political practice, this book looks at the theory of state, of politics and of planning. The topics covered in this book range from neo-Marxist theory and the philosophy of praxis, to Max Weber and the rational state.;The author argues that although planning must still be accountable, neither the domination of the market nor traditional post-war planning ideologies are acceptable in the 1990s - that a new agenda and a major rethink of planning from first principles is required.
