Abstract
In this thesis it is dealt with coastal protection from a socio-political perspective with the focus on the processes behind a possible paradigm shift. The principle of area-orientation is so far not implemented in Germany and obstacles seem to prevail for doing this. Hence a knowledge base about area-orientation is provided and the theory is combined with the mutual gains approach to negotiate obstacles and identify possible synergies. This process is enhanced by expert interviews of involved stakeholders within the spatial demarcation of Lower Saxony and Bremen in a case study. A general potential for creating synergies can be observed. Hence success factors, such as additional political commitment, reflexive planning processes, integrative thinking and open communication are presented as solution for these problems and as outcome of this thesis.
