| Zusammenfassung |
This article analyzes the relationship between the processes of policy
making, management and research and the way in which the Westerschelde
estuary developed between 1985 and 2006. The Westerschelde has three core
functions: economically: it makes the port of Antwerp accessible;
ecologically: it generates habitats for certain unique species; and in terms
of safety: its morphology helps preventing the hinterland from being
flooded. We analyze how the processes of policymaking, management and
analysis focused on these three aspects, and how they in turn affected the
physical system of the Westerschelde.
We proceed to develop a framework for evaluating the policy making,
management and esearch and how this impacts the Westerschelde. We apply this
framework to twenty years of policy making on, management of, and research
about the Westerschelde. We conclude that policy, management and research,
due to learning effects, take the dynamics of the Westerschelde into account
to a greater extent than they have in the past, but there exist a real
probability for old routines to return. |
