The global diffusion of conservation policy : an institutional analysis
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- What explains the significant institutional change in environmental policy across the globe? And why do environmental policies across nations look so similar? Is there a convergence to optimal policies or are there other forces at play? And what are the outcomes of such a process? The motivation of my research is to understand the role of social processes determining environmental policy reform and its implementation across nations. By using biodiversity conservation policy as a case study I hope to contribute to the understanding of the institutional change in the environmental field and effectiveness of public policies since diffusion, implementation and outcomes are measureable and of global interest. The research agenda is framed in institutional and social field theory, but is interdisciplinary since it draws from a range of theories on organizations and policy diffusion. This proposal uses a mixed method approach, using discourse analysis, qualitative and quantitative methods, as well as exploring four case studies to understand environmental policy change.
