Conflict, Consensus, and Rationality in Environmental Planning: An Institutional Discourse Approach

by Yvonne Rydin

How does the way that those involved in policy planning talk affect environmental planning? Can negotiation be turned into consensus-building and deliberation? How do planners legitimate their activities through discourse, and what are the prospects of a rationality of sustainable development? Using a new institutionalist, theoretical framework, Yvonne Rydin tackles these key questions.
