Abstract
Coastal landscapes are spaces and places of conflict, being among the most dynamic and vulnerable environments on the planet. Coastal landscapes are regulated through various policy instruments focused on competing interests and land uses at several intersecting administrative scales. High levels of landscape transformation, partially induced by climate change, can also be observed in several coastal countries. This article presents a systematic literature review, using the PRISMA 2020 protocol, focusing on two central and complementary debates: one focuses exclusively on coastal landscape governance (landscape research) and the other on coastal governance (coastal planning research). The systematic conceptualisation of landscape governance has emerged in the last decade, particularly in western countries. Yet, the debate to date mainly focuses on forest landscape restoration in the Global South. There has not been a comprehensive debate focused on the procedural and substantive aspects of coastal landscapes governance. Coastal governance is an emergent challenge that needs to evolve to overcome an often overstretched and fragmented governance system which has to take into account current societal challenges. Building on 174 peer-reviewed English-language articles, results reveal research trends in the conceptualisation and operationalisation of both types of governance. The review shows that there is a growing awareness of the relevance of coastal governance and landscape governance. However, evidence confirms that a robust conceptualisation and operationalisation of coastal landscape governance is missing. Conclusions point to new directions for coastal landscape governance, highlighting the need to strengthen theoretical and empirical research.

Notes
Productive bricolage refers to the “flexible and dynamic crafting together of various livelihood options and its associated impacts on the landscape” (Van Oosten et al., 2018b, p.159).
Institutional bricolage refers to “refers to the dynamic and ad hoc flexible nature of the governance process in the form of (re)constructing institutions, pieced together by individuals acting within the bounds of circumstantial constrains” (Van Oosten et al., 2018b, p.159).
Institutional entrepreneurship refers to a deliberate process “to manoeuvring between sectors and scales, and to building policy networks in between” (Van Oosten et al., 2021, p. 5).
