We argue that this legal apparatus not only lacks the internal integration necessary for its effectiveness, but it also fails to recognise the ways in which the problem materialises in the everyday life of coastal areas. Through a case study in the village of Furadouro in Western Portugal, we demonstrate how this top-down implementation of policies does not promote a true communication of risks, in the sense that the problem of coastal erosion is not “put in common” across levels of governance. Au cours des deux dernières décennies, les autorités portugaises ont conçu un ensemble d’instruments pour gérer le problème de l’érosion des côtes. Dans cet article nous analysons cet appart légal, en montrant comment il lui fait défaut l’intégration interne nécessaire à son efficacité. Ce qui est plus, il n’arrive pas à interagir avec la variété de manières que le problème a de se manifester dans la vie au quotidien des zones côtières. A partir d’un cas d'étude, nous allons discuter comment l’implémentation « par le haut » de ces mesures d’action publique n’arrive pas à promouvoir la construction d'un cadre partagé d'interprétation de l’érosion. |
