What is it about?
The article attempts to point to hidden power and antagonisms, and the consequences that an inattention to this "dark side of planning" may have for multiple stakeholders across space and time.

Why is it important?
The paper is important because it is the first so far to articulate a coherent theoretical framework and a critique of underlying assumptions, as well as inherent power relations in the field of marine spatial planning.
Perspectives
This paper is intended for, and speaks to, everyone seriously concerned about power relations and ways of making marine spatial planning "work" for multiple stakeholders (including planners, researchers and so-called "planning subjects"). It is a step towards contributing to more than just a flirt with the politics of planning.
