Policy transfer for renewable energy penetration: Peru, Thailand and Uganda

The paper examines how renewable energy policies diffuse between countries, arguing that policy transfer is a complex, iterative process rather than a simple adoption of policies from a lender to a borrower. Using an adapted Dolowitz and Marsh framework, the authors find that outcomes are shaped by interactions between national and international actors, with significant influence from the EU and international developments, while domestic factors ensure policies are adapted to local contexts.

• Policy transfer is not a simple act of a 'borrower' country adopting policies from a 'lender' country, but a complex process involving interactions between various national and international actors.
• While international developments and experiences from the EU significantly influence policy transfer, domestic issues are critical for adapting these policies to local contexts.
• The process of policy transfer is continuous and iterative, allowing policies to evolve over time through learning.
