Abstract
Planning and participation are concepts which can be interpreted in
different ways. Traditional planning theory offers mostly subjective-idealistic
interpretations. These interpretations are not very helpfull in answering why
ideas, methods, and practices of planning appear as they do. A prerequisite for
answering such questions is a theoretical understanding of the relationship of
planning to social totality, i.e. to basic political, social, economic and
ideological conditions. Capital-logic and 'structure-logic' theories of social
structure and development offer framework for analysis. Both, however, lead to
functionalist explanations, and imply mechanical determinism. A more dialectical
conception is necessary, emphasizing both the objective and the subjective
aspects of planning and development.
