Planning and the Political Market

Public Choice and the Politics of Government Failure

Planning and the Political Market argues that the enthusiasm for planning as an essential component of environmental protection is misplaced. Drawing on the experience of Britain and other Western democracies, the author uses public choice theory to explore the practical experience of land use planning as an example of government failure. The book opens by outlining the institutional focus of public choice theory, examining the central questions of market and government failure and the theoretical case for government intervention in the environment. Having explored the principal impacts of planning the book goes on to analyse the institutional structures which have produced these policy outcomes. The analysis suggests that institutional incentives within the 'political market' have frequently led to policies which favour special interest groups and public sector bureaucracy. The book concludes with an assessment of the potential for a private property rights, free market alternative to increase community involvement and access.

INTEREST GROUPS, COLLECTIVE ACTION AND PLANNING INTRODUCTION
This chapter uses public choice theory to explore the role of interest groups on
the demand side of the political market in planning. The emphasis on interest
groups and collective action problems is important given the current significance
attributed to the role of public participation within the environmental policy
literature, and collaborative planning theory in particular. In recent years there
has been a ...

The Population Ecology of Interest Representation

Lobbying Communities in the American States

This examination of lobbying communities explores how interest group populations are constructed and how they influence politics and public policy. By examining how populations of interest groups are comprised, this work fills an important gap between existing theories of the origins of individual interest groups and studies of interest group influence. The population ecology model of interest communities developed here builds on insights first developed in population biology and later employed by organizational ecologists. The model's central premise is that it is the environmental forces confronting interest organizations that most directly shape the contours of interest populations. After examining the demography of interest organizations in the fifty American states, the population ecology model is used to account for variations in the density and diversity of their interest communities, the nature of competition among similar interest organizations to establish viable niches, and the impact of alternative configurations of interest communities on the legislative process and the policies it produces. These empirical findings suggest that the environment of interest communities is highly constraining, limiting their size, composition, and potential impact on politics.

For the most part, however, this literature has been descriptive, with scholars
contending over whether balkanization provides an accurate description of
interest organization communities. Given the importance accorded to how we
answer this question, it is surprising that much less attention has been devoted to
explaining why and under what conditions balkanization can be sustained. The
best explanation we have is niche theory. J. Q. Wilson (1973, 263), although not
employing the ...
