Summary: This book introduces readers to neo-mercantile planning theory in the context of spatial regional integration in Africa. It proposes a new approach that rethinks neo-liberalism as the meta-theory of planning in Africa, and pioneers an original school of thought that presents a general theory of planning for Africa in the twenty-first century. Research to substantiate the new theory was conducted over the period November 2010 to May 2015 and is presented here in four sections with more than 500 references. The book offers comprehensive coverage, from the theoretical foundations and framework, through application and empirical research, to analysis, conclusions and recommendationsSummary: Foreword -- Preface -- Executive Summary -- Section A: Theoretical Founding -- Chapter One: Conceptual Framework -- Section B: Application of Theory to Reality Within Africa and its Context -- Chapter Two: Theoretical Framework -- Chapter Three: Analytical Framework -- Section C: Empirical Research Within South Africa -- Chapter Four: Case Study of IDP Application in South Africa -- Section D: Integration of Theory to Empirical Research -- Chapter Five: Analysis -- Section E: Strategic Conclusions and Recommendations -- Chapter Six: Findings and Conclusions -- Chapter Seven: Recommendations -- Section F: Contributions to New Knowledge, Application and Approaches -- Chapter Eight: New Knowledge Base -- References & AnnexesPPN: PPN: 1658672143Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-EES | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXEE
