商品描述

The book draws from regulation theory to explain urban planning policies and outcomes in Southeast Asia as a function of governance structures and processes. A considerable portion of the book is spent re-tracing the historical roots of planning dispositives, including the totality of
institutional entities, which together constitute an apparatus of government in South-East Asian polities. Therefore, of essence in the book are the institutional structures and administrative principles, that were introduced by colonial authorities and inherited by their post-colonial successors in South-East Asia. The book seeks to demonstrate the role of the policies and commensurate implementation institutional frameworks in accounting for important dynamics in the contemporary urban domain in the region. In analyzing the institutional framework for urban planning and governance, the book is doing due diligence to a hitherto neglected subject, namely governmentality, in the discourse on the political economy of urban management in Southeast Asia. Thus, the book is intended to acknowledge the importance of institutions in determining the success of urban development policies. The notion of institutions or governmentality as will be used in the book includes, de facto governance structures, government and parastatal agencies and the formal rules and regulations they are charged with implementing. The book is based on the premise that knowledge of institutions and their functions is critical in explaining phenomena in economic geography. This is particularly true in Southeast Asian countries because of the dominant and overarching role of the state or government agencies in the economy.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書以規範理論為基礎，解釋東南亞的城市規劃政策及其結果，並將其視為治理結構和過程的功能。書中相當一部分內容回溯了規劃裝置的歷史根源，包括所有的機構實體，這些實體共同構成了東南亞政治體系中的政府機制。因此，本書的核心在於殖民當局所引入的制度結構和行政原則，這些原則被其後殖民的繼承者所繼承。本書旨在展示政策及相應實施的制度框架在解釋該地區當代城市領域重要動態中的作用。在分析城市規劃和治理的制度框架時，本書對於一個迄今為止被忽視的主題——政府性，進行了必要的探討，這在東南亞城市管理的政治經濟話語中是相當重要的。因此，本書旨在承認制度在決定城市發展政策成功與否中的重要性。本書中所使用的制度或政府性概念包括事實上的治理結構、政府及準國營機構，以及它們負責執行的正式規則和法規。本書的前提是，了解制度及其功能對於解釋經濟地理現象至關重要。這在東南亞國家尤其如此，因為國家或政府機構在經濟中扮演著主導和全方位的角色。
