dc.description.abstractThe field of coastal management in South Africa, and the discourses which construct and are constructed by it, are in transition. Emerging front a history of a narrow scientific approach with goals related mainly to environmental conservation, coastal management has in the 1990s become far broader and more orientated towards socio- economic development. This forms part of a wider transition in the social practice of environmental management under South Africa’s new democratic government, in which environmental goals have begun to be pursued in the context of broader social and economic aims. This mini-thesis explores the shift which has occurred in coastal management policy and practice over the past decade, analysing representative samples of the discourse of coastal management policy. The use of a critical approach to discourse analysis enables an understanding of the power relations and ideological forces at play, both within the policy discourses and in the broader social practices of coastal management and policy formulation of which they are a part.en_ZA
