This book represents the results of a Flemish research carried out in
the framework of the European Interreg IIIB North-West Europe Project
COREPOINT (Coastal Research and Policy Integration). It consists of a
thorough scientific analysis of two policy processes in the Belgian marine and
coastal environment: the designation of the marine protected areas and the
drawing up of provincial spatial implementation plans for beaches and sea
dikes. The book analyses the legal framework and the concrete application
of this for both cases.
Central to the book is the question in which way these policy processes worked
out and in particular, what role participation played in this. In order to answer
this question, the researchers analysed documents and the related scientific
literature.
Additionally they conducted a series of in-depth interviews with
representatives of different spheres of society: state (politicians and public
servants), civil society and market. In the description of the policy processes
attention is given to the roles of various agents and coalitions (networks),
the distribution of power, the current rules as well as the policy discourses
used.
This book provides inspiration for scientists,
those involved in making policy as well as all of those who make their living
from the sea or use it during their leisure time.
