Flood risk governance arrangement

Apply flood risk governance arrangements according to the following dimensions:

• Diversification and dominance of strategies. Dominance of some strategies and arrangements in this countrie? What factors explain further diversification of flood risk governance arrangements?
• Multi-sector governance. Relates to factors that explain why flood risk governance either has more differentiated structures, such as sector-based water management, or relies on integrated planning – or even integrated risk management – and what are the possible changes therein?
• Multi-actor governance. Concerns factors that explain why flood risk governance is a responsibility of the state, the market and/or civil society, their interrelationships, and possible changes therein.
• Multi-level governance. Relates to factors that explain why flood risk governance is organised locally, regionally, or nationally, what possible shifts in (de)centralisation we see, and how we can explain them.
