The era of globalisation, as elucidated in Chapter 6, is characterised by widespread claims of a spatial transformation of governance from national to international and transnational scales. This chapter examines biofuels policy-making in these multi-scalar terms, examining the intersection of domestic policy processes and the international arena in the implementation of biofuels policy. We argue that whilst none of the three cases of biofuels policy processes in this book can be presented as operating exclusively within their respective national boundaries, biofuels policy in the EU, US and Brazil is an important example of the constraining power of domestic policy designs manifest even across multi-scalar policy-making structures.
