Abstract
In order to assess how stakeholder interactions affect local coastal governance in North Africa, 70 in-depth semi-structured interviews with 88 subjects were conducted across two sites in Morocco and Tunisia. Using Kooiman's socio-political theory of governance as an analytical framework, stakeholder interactions were analysed both in terms of intentional and conditional levels and related to three elements of governance capacity; images, tools and action potential. Aspects of the sites investigated included fresh water resources, fisheries management, agriculture, wetland conservation, tourism and recreational management, socio-economic development and urbanisation. The analysis revealed general similarities across both sites.
