The research gaps this book addresses concern both the empirical case studied – the German Energiewende and its transfer to Morocco, South Africa, and California – and theoretical gaps related to understanding the international spread of policies. While the reality of policies traveling across borders, including in the environmental and renewable energy field, is well established (Busch & Jörgens 2010, Sommerer 2011), how and why this happens in particular instances is less clear (Bennett 1991, Gilardi 2013b, James & Lodge 2003, Majone 1991: 104). In particular, the ways in which the source of a transferred model and active sending countries interested in finding followers affect transfer, have received very little attention in the literature so far.
