Abstract
ABSTRACT This special issue examines the politics of land focusing on the intersections of dominant land and property regimes and situated land practices that are not characterized by open conflict, but rather mundane everyday negotiations. The selected papers show that the interrelations between landed practices and regimes of land are extremely variegated and complex, shaped by socio-economic factors as well as by their own peculiar geographies and temporalities. Thus, they can be examined most adequately in the specific geographic, socio-economic and historical context in which they materialize. Structural factors matter, but they are (continuously) challenged by the agency and everyday practices of many different actors, pursuing different and mutable objectives and following varying trajectories, often far away from the established rules. Viewed like this, dominant regimes of land appear to be less overarching and monolithic than commonly understood.
期刊介绍:
Planning, at urban, regional, national and international levels, faces new challenges, notably those related to the growth of globalisation as both an objective socio-economic process and a shift in policy-maker perceptions and modes of analysis. International Planning Studies (IPS) addresses these issues by publishing quality research in a variety of specific fields and from a range of theoretical and normative perspectives, which helps improve understanding of the actual and potential role of planning and planners in this context.
