Trading information is an essential aspect of the negotiations that underpin planning practice across the globe. In this book; Alex Lord uses information economics to outline a way of thinking about these negotiations that places the strategies that actors in the planning game use at the heart of the debate.Dialogue between economics and planning theorists has been; until now; rare. Lord argues that information economicsrsquo; tool kit; game theory ndash; including well-known examples such as the Prisonersrsquo; Dilemma; the Stag Hunt game and Follow the Leader ndash; offers an analytical framework ideally suited to unpacking planning processes. This use of game theory to understand how counterparties interact draws together two distinct bodies of literature: firstly the mainstream economics treatment of games in abstract form and; secondly; accounts of actual bargaining in planning practice from a host of international empirical studies.Providing a novel alternative to existing theories of planning; The Planning Game provides an explanation of how agencies interact in shaping the trajectory of development through the application of game theory to planning practice.

MUST READ!!By NikkiWith being a liturgical dancer at my church im always looking for ways to draw closer to the Lord and empty myself more as He uses me to minister to the people of God and touch those who dont know Him.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fascinating encouraging for to all readersBy Up and UpSaara encourages each of us with her story on dance. She is completely centered in God in worship and tells about her journey--the ups and downs. the surprises and difficulties. Her call for the church to embrace movement is one I resonate with. Saara has proven God faithful over and over. She is more than optimistic in life and ministry-- I feel she pulls down on the heavenly atmosphere of praise and worship of Jesus. and she has shown that it works and gives great examples! Her language is beautifully simple yet issues. in my opinion. a foretaste of heaven and even a strong challenge -- to meet Jesus on his big dance floor.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. AmazingBy mechellle warnerI chose to give this book 5 stars because it truly gave me inspiration. Coming from a place where I danced often and then stopped. this book inspires me to start dancing again. In my heart I always desired to create a dance group but just didnt know how. but Saara Taina gave wise tips for me to move forward in the leading of what I call a powerful ministry of worship! Thank you Saara Taina for you obedience to the father and writing this book its been a great help.
