Abstract
During the past decade, the Dutch planning system had a significant transformation. The comprehensive integrated approach got replaced by a more open and bottom-up approach, facilitated by new policies and strengthened by the economic crisis. A lot is known about this new, nomocratic approach, but even though it is immanent to planning (Ploeger, 2004), conflict has not been reflected upon yet. Moreover, the different approaches used to deal with conflict, agonism and antagonism (Mouffe, 2000), have not been investigated yet. Therefore, this research bridges that gap between the theories about conflict and the approach to conflict in practice. To do this, three different cases of nomocratic planning processes in the Netherlands have been analysed: the Honigcomplex in Nijmegen, the Ebbingekwartier in Groningen and the Schieblock in Groningen. By analysing these cases, insight is created in their conflicts and the approach to it, to develop better understanding of the way in which the theories about conflict are integrated in nomocratic planning processes.
