The Social Construction of Planning Systems: A Strategic-Relational Institutionalist Approach

Loris Servillo and Pieter Van Den Broeck

Planning Practice & Research, 2012, vol. 27, issue 1, 41-61

Abstract: This article reflects on a theoretical framework for the analysis of planning systems based on an institutionalist planning theory broadened with Jessop's strategic-relational approach. The aim is to explore the concept of the planning system with an actor—structure perspective so as to underline possible research consequences for analyses and comparisons of planning systems. The article highlights the interactions of actors and social institutional elements, clarifying the strategic-relational nature of a planning system and the dialectical process at the basis of its changes and evolutions.
