This book examines the approaches to climate change adaptation in
water governance taken by South Korea and Germany. By comparing
their political decision-making processes, this book explores the
factors behind their differences. Adaptation to the changing
climate is critical to human society and water is the principal
medium through which climate change will affect us. Due to high
levels of industrialization and population density, flood control
is a high priority in both countries' adaptation plans. While South
Korea has maintained its engineering-oriented flood control policy
for river management, Germany has turned its direction from its
long-standing technical approach to more nature-based solutions.
The evidence of this study indicates that policy change and
stability is the result of discourse and institutional interaction,
and thus emphasizes the validity of discursive institutionalism.
This book will clearly explain why certain policies are adopted for
water management and will be an invaluable contribution to the
expanding literature on the socio-political aspects of climate
change adaptation.
