German term or phrase: Lagerbildung

Hallo,

Here is the sentence:

"Die Debatte um XXX geht – unabhängig von theoriepolitischen Lagerbildungen – von der starken Annahme aus, dass ...."

Lagerbildungen = taking sides

I thought of:
"independent of entrenched positions based on theoretical or political views"

But, for obvious reasons, something like this is less desirable.

Any ideas how to put this is a nice, succinct phrase without extending the sentence all too much?

I'd appreciate you help.

Best,
