STAR-FLOOD STrengthening And Rede-signing European FLOOD risk practices: Towards appropriate and resilient flood risk governance arrangements International setting of six European countries Belgium, United Kingdom, France, Poland, Sweden & the Netherlands Special: Combining legal and policy science

  3. Starting point Successful implementation requests: Assumptions Leads to more resilience Diversification Implementation needs to be appropriate (properly institutionally embedded in physical and social context) Diverse FRSs  diverse FRGAs Broadening and linking FRSs needs innovative FRGA’s Relationship between FRS and FRGAs  Problem: little known about FRGovernanceArrangement(actors, discourse, rules, resources)  Necessary to explain regional differences, success, failure

  4. Methodology Analytical framework: Policy Arrangements Approach (PAA) Explanatory framework Factors of stability and change Evaluation framework Resilience Appropriateness

  5. The Netherlands: 3 cases Westergouwe/Zuidplaspolder Nijmegen: Waalsprong Dordrecht

  6. Shifts in Dutch flood risk management? Examples FloodProtection Programme (Hoogwater- Beschermings- programma) MLS Security regions (veiligheidsregio’s) First voluntary insurance available MLS - Room for the River (Ruimte voor de Rivier) Water Test (Watertoets)

  7. Codifying discourse into law Law: • 1st Delta Act • - Safety standards Discourse traditional: technocratic discourse • Changing discourse • 1970s discourse of legitimacy/ democratisation of society • - 1970s Environmental movement - Integrated water management: “battle against water” to “accommodating water” Trigger: high water discharges of 1993/1995 • Legal response: strengthening of traditional discourse • Major Rivers Delta Act (Deltawet Grote Rivieren) • Flood Defence Structures Act (Wet op de waterkering) • Legal response: changing discourse • - SPKD: Room for the River • Water Test (Watertoets)
