Description
This book provides insight into the structure and performance of the Polish and Dutch policy systems concerning conflict in urban development, showing how the different parties concerned use a large arsenal of formal and extra-legal powers to pursue their goals. Three pairs of cases are discussed in which overt conflicts arose during the policy-making process. These cases deal with the location of waste disposal site, the control of urban development in a zone of environmental nuisance and urban expansion in a metropolitan area. Policy networks, in terms of actor-orientation and inter-oganisational aspects, together with a section on conflict theory, are used as a theoretical-analytical framework.
