What does the theory tell planners tell to do? This question can only be answered by conceiving of planning as a political activity, and by examining Marxian political theory which deals with its subject through the perspective of class conflict.

This paper focuses on the work of Jacques Rancière, his view of politics, and its relevance for understanding key aspects of social protest movements such as the Occupy movement. It outlines some of Rancière’s key concepts, such as the distinction
between politics and the police, subjectivity, ‘in-between spaces’, and ‘insubstantial communities’, and attempts to locate his concept of politics within a wider spectrum of political forms in order to bring out its distinctive nature. It concludes
with a discussion of some of the critical questions concerning the effectiveness of this style of politics (questions of political organisation and engagement with the state) and the wider consequences for Rancière’s concept of radical politics.

The A. seeks to specify a social lacation for left-liberal politics among a distinctive cadre of social and cultural professionals, the cultural new class. The part played since 1968 by the cultural new class in the gentrifying districts
in redefining the urban politics of Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver is examined. The role of a gentrifying middle class in challenging an hegemony of growth boosterism, and the attempt to sustain a regime of reform politics, are assessed.

The papers are concerned with scale in two ways: first, as the processes operating at various scales in the world system set the structural context of action and, second, in terms of the opportunity structure available to political agents and social
groups. The papers take a social constructionist perspective on space and thus scale becomes implicated in the production of spaces of reistance. Attention is directed to the spaces between the state and community and between the public and private

Political behaviour of citizens is traditionally formed by a wide range of factors that influence their voting decision in the election. Dichotomy of both the space and society into the town and the countryside generates different election results
constantly. A key aim of this paper is to assess the extent of rurality concerning the electoral support of relevant political parties operating on the Slovak political scene after the groundbreaking elections held in 1998 until ballots of 2010 not only
at national, but also at the regional level. Evaluation of level and dynamics in socio-political cleavage between rural and urban space is one of the most important research ambitions of this study. - (EN)
