This book has been the outcome of several contributors working together within the Association of European Planning Schools. The editors wish to acknowledge the assistance and enthusiasm provided by all the contributors to produce this volume within the time schedule required.

The editors would like to acknowledge the contribution of Adri Stoffaneller in co-ordinating and producing a camera-ready document for publication from a large number of international contributors. Without her effort input and professional standards, the production of this book would not have been so successful.

JEREMY ALDEN, LOUIS ALBRECHTS AND ARTUR DA ROSA PIRES

Globalization processes have an impact on the states capacity to govern and this, in turn is leading to a recomposition of the role of the state and to a search for new forms of regulation (see Le Gals, 1998). Globalization does not imply sameness between places but a continuation of the significance of territorial diversity and difference (Amin and Thrift, 1994). Each mode of regulation is characterized by a series of formal or informal practices, embodied in the state or other scale defined formal or informal institutions or levels of governance, through which the conflicting nature of social relationships is guided and negotiated and which assure the reproducibility of the relationships as well as their transformation (Swyngedouw, 1997). This brings us to competences of different levels of government.

The New Economic Policy emerging in many countries is not against state interventions. It aims to reorient state intervention away from monopoly market regulations and restriction of civil behavior and public and ethical entrepreneurialism.

In contrast to the 1970s the 1990s witnessed a move away from the modernist conceptions of the provider state to the adoption of a more entrepreneurial style in which the government enables through framing and promoting the activities of citizens and business. In many places of Europe there is a pervasive struggle in the terrain of governance at the present time between traditional representative democracy and a more direct democracy. There are critical shifts in the domains of intervention, actors, institutional structures and policy tools. This brings us to a rather fundamental shift from traditional governing structures to a more diffused, fragmented mode of governance. There is a plea for a change in the way in which public problems are dealt with and the governing activity is developed. It becomes more and more difficult to ignore citizen demands. There is an accelerating policy rhetoric that calls for more integration between policy areas and for a stronger emphasis on managing, in strategic ways the evolution of the qualities of cities, city regions, valued landscapes.

Immediate Cause for the Book

Planning today has to deal with a completely different world from the one in which many of the basic ways of thought of the profession were founded. The traditional planning approaches often seem less relevant today when so much of the official rhetoric is of sustainable development, deregulation and competitiveness in a global world. Moreover, a growing number of citizens want to have a voice in the design of the future of their community, city, region etc. When problems and challenges change, often the institutions do not and, therefore, become a problem themselves. Institutions may need to change to address new challenges.
