Regional rescaling in adaptation governance: from agency to collaborative control in flood management in England?
The governance of water management is undergoing significant changes worldwide, with an ongoing reallocation of tasks occurring from traditional state‐led centralised agency approaches towards more collaborative forms of governance. This chapter first provides an historical overview of flood management in England since the Middle Ages, to show how it was originally a localised process but gradually became more centralised. Since 2011, significant changes have occurred in governance, including the creation of the Regional Flood and Coastal Committees (RFCCs). The chapter then examines whether rescaling of flood management tasks through the creation of the RFCCs has led to greater local‐level collaboration, using two case studies: the South West RFCC and the Anglian RFCC. Finally, it reflects on the effects of rescaling in practice in relation to both theoretical arguments on collaboration and more normative recommendations on lesson drawing for governance elsewhere.
