Spaces for planning evolution. Path, inter and goal dependencies in the revival of spatial planning in Argentina

Tesis presentada para optar al título de Doctor en Filosofía, de la Universidad de Wageningen, en octubre 2022

This thesis illustrates how different national planning policies evolved throughout Argentinian history, associated with the rise of State-initiated or market-driven development models, and closely tied to changing understandings of i.a. planning, planners, economy, democracy and the State. While each chapter contributes to a particular theoretical debate, the research questions of the thesis are intended to contribute to a more general discussion about the dynamics of continuity and change in policy formation and what an evolutionary governance perspective can offer to help us better understand them. Thisintroductory chapter briefly presents the historical background in which Argentinian planning policies unfold and produce effects. Later on, the thesis will delve into this background, providing greater detail in relation to the specific features of the evolution of Argentinian planning policy formation under scrutiny in each chapter. This section also displays the overall structure of the research, including a broad literature review; aims and objectives; theoretical framework and methodological design. Finally, an outline of the content and purpose of each chapter is presented to facilitate reading.
