Comparative analysis of institutional arrangement experiences and integrated coastal zone management in three European countries, France, Norway and Greece

Objective



This programme acknowledges the rise of claims other coastal resources that have been or might become the source of conflicts. Beyond sectorial policy needs, it also supports the idea that potentially contradicting socio-economic and environmental objectives are of equal importance and that ways of integration should be further developed through Integrated Coastal Zone Management planning The purpose of the programme is to investigate the institutional needs to improve this integration of coastal zone management policies. The research is based on in-depth and comparative multi-disciplinary analysis of three national situation: France, Norway and Greece. In each country, one study-area has been selected to illustrate this comparison. All study-areas are very representative of the present state of ICZM initiatives in their country and they well represent the diversity of coastal zone occupation in Europe. The general objective is to propose a multi-disciplinary assessment of institutional arrangements experienced or needed to improve the co-ordination of socio-economic development policy and environment or resource sectorial policies. The disciplines involved in the programme are in the area of social sciences. They are political sciences, law, sociology and economy. All participants to COASTMAN are involved in research programmes in the study-areas associating social and natural sciences.
The programme will benefit from these links but intends to remain a social science research as it focuses at institutional analysis, an area where analytical and methodological frameworks exist but have yet been very little applied to ICZM.
This general objective of the research is divided in the following three objectives:
1 - to describe and evaluate the terms of emergence of ICZM
initiatives in each country and to assess their relative success or failure. This includes the description of principles, rules, organizations and decision-making process implemented or under discussion in each country. The evaluation will be conducted by confronting initiatives and their outcome in terms of facilitating the solving of conflicts among uses or claims. This will be assessed in an historical perspective looking at the evolution of these conflicts over the past 10/15 years.
2- to identify the needs for ICZM policy design and implementation either to change existing institutional arrangements or to initiate such policy where it doesn't exist. Here also, sectorial claims for environment protection or socio-economic development or multi-uses conflicting issues will be considered to identify to which common issues ICZM frame has to provide answers. Needs will be evaluate from the confrontation of stakeholders claims and analytical grounds for public policy evaluation.
3 - to propose a methodological framework for the assessment of ICZM institutional arrangements and to contribute to the international, national and local debates on this issue. For this purpose, all the individual participants to the project will act together as a working group and the programme will be organized in joint field work periods and workshops where materials and interpretation of facts will be discussed to propose a common analysis.
