“…Here perhaps, after more than 20 years, planning still needs an account of what the practice of the planner is all about in this contemporary governance; this is because planning itself has evolved (Van Assche, Beunen & Duineveld, 2014). Certainly, this demonstrates and justifies how planning and the planning profession itself engage and transform in response to the conflict underpinned by neoliberal globalisation.…”

Popularly referred to as an Asian Tiger, planning for economic development has been a significant feature in the Malaysian planning system. This reflected the historical junctures that transform Malaysia economy from agricultural potential to industrial capabilities. The rapid industrialisation that can be linked to neoliberal ideology has caused people to migrate from rural to urban area that echoed the emergence of urban settlements. However, this transformation has produced social and environmental instability, as a result of capital accumulation. Accordingly, this study conducted in-depth interviews and documents analysis, with the objective to develop understanding of how neoliberal globalisation rationalises the emergence of urban settlements in Malaysia through its policies and planning practice. The Nvivo10 was used to define categories and synthesise the ideas from the interview data and planning policy documents. This paper is expected to contribute to deepening knowledge of the emergence of urban settlements particularly in the urban planning field under the pervasive discourse of neoliberal globalisation.

“…Theory on relational strategies is relevant to a study of citizens' initiatives and self-organizing communities as contingent and related to the outside world (Donati, 2010; Van Assche et al, 2014;Walker et al, 2008). Putnam (2000) sees the relational processes as activities concerning social capital, emphasizing the connections with different actors.…”

“…New roles and concepts for 'citizens' emerge all the time and once created and internalized, they can have an impact on existing governance discourses and practices. To study the process of subjectification of citizens' initiatives in governance practices, we use the concepts of performativity ( Van Assche, Beunen, & Duineveld, 2014) and self-transformation (Etzioni, 1968;Luhmann, 1995;Seidl, 2005). Performances refer broadly to events, acts, utterances or narratives produced by people, organizations or institutions.…”

“…This, however, is a self-referential process and is related to the process of selftransformation in which images of the social context are produced in an internal discourse. The identity (self-image) and strategies of a citizens' initiative are adapted to the group's shared assumptions about what is considered important in the relevant social context (Luhmann, 1995(Luhmann, , 2008Seidl, 2005;Van Assche et al, 2014;Van Dam, Salverda, & During, 2014). Whether or not a performance becomes performative, has reality effects, produces new subjects, new roles and so on, also depends on the context: location, time, audience and so on.…”

Purpose -This paper draws upon prior research that built a theoretical framework for the emergence of social enterprise ecosystems based upon biological evolutionary theory. This paper seeks to extend this previous research by practically applying the theory to the development of stakeholder and institutional networks across Europe.Design/methodology/approach -Data from in-depth semi-structured interviews and focus groups were analysed using Constant Comparison Method. Data were generated from discussions with 258 key stakeholders in 10 countries across Europe, exploring the historical, political, social, legal and economic factors that influence the patterns of social enterprise seen in each country.Findings -The results identify the emergence of four social enterprise ecosystem types (Statist-macro; Statist-micro; Private-macro; Private-micro). These are used to explain the differences found in each of the 10 country's social enterprise ecosystems. The results are discussed in relation to evolutionary theory in social entrepreneurship and how 'genetic' and 'epigenetic' factors lead to the divergence of social enterprise ecosystems, and the impact that this has on the stakeholders and institutions that are present within them.Originality/value -A typology of ecosystems is presented, which can be used by policymakers across Europe to understand how best to support their local social economies.
