This book examines the coordination of renewable energy policies in
the European Union using an innovative theoretical approach to
explain national policy making. David Jacobs asks, why are national
support instruments for electricity from renewable energy sources
converging, even though the harmonisation of these frameworks at
the European level has failed? Which causal mechanisms lead to
cross-national policy similarities? And what are the implications
for policy coordination in the EU? The author traces the evolution
of feed-in tariffs - the most successful and most widely used
support mechanism for renewable electricity - in Germany, Spain and
France. He reveals increasing cross-national policy similarities in
feed-in tariff design - despite the failure of harmonizing
instruments at the European level. He explains these increasing
policy similarities by applying policy convergence theory. Policy
convergence can occur voluntarily, based on transnational
communication, regulatory competition and technological innovations
and these findings have important implications for European policy
steering. The key to this book is the interrelation of an
innovative theoretical concept (coordination of policies in the
international arena via voluntary cooperation) with a very topical
empirical research focus - the promotion of renewable energies in
the EU. It will be essential reading for scholars and students of
environmental policy, comparative politics and European studies.
