The following research is an investigation on potential impacts that the transposition and implementation of the Flood Risk Management Directive 2007/EC/60 could have had over the Italian Traditional Flood Risk Management strategies. The study constitutes an exploratory research and it is based on the case study of Liguria, an Italian region located in the Northern part of the peninsula. The exploitation of a conceptual model conceived with three fundamental components (policy divergence, policy success and degree of policy change) was employed as a mean to undertake investigation in the field.
