   Keywords : institutions; communicative planning; collective action; metropolitan development planning; transaction cost; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : This thesis aspires to advance understanding of how actor choices relate to embedded structures of rules in communicative planning practice, using insights from the institutional literature developed in organizational science, economics, sociology and planning. Specifically, the thesis argues that a spatial institutional perspective can help planners understand the complex patterns of interaction among actors, and between actors and rules. READ MORE
