description From a sociological perspective, this paper focuses the interactions of the state of Guinea-Bissau on three levels of power relations. The first one focuses the position of the national state vis-à-vis multilateral forces in environmental issues. The second level analyses some patterns of interaction between the national state, NGOs and other partners in socioenvironmental policies. The third is the local level in which degraded environmental circumstances, related to floods, generate a collective suffering. The study concludes that the intra-communitarian bonds create strategies for mutual support. However, the institutional management of catastrophes continues to express the soft state in Guinea-Bissau.
