The literature offers little, moreover, on what factors influence and mediate power differentials beyond shifts in resources and capacities, such as indigenous governance modalities and political cultures.…”

“…Trust in authorities may nurture receptiveness, if not avoid obstructiveness, to government intervention (Kim and Thurbon 2015; Svallfors 2013). Second, in authoritarian countries where states are gatekeepers to governance processes, and the threat of repression or coercion looms over challengers to authority (Böhmelt 2014; Yew 2016), nonstate actors may rely on trust building in informal networks to access and engage with powerful actors, or to avoid violating local political norms such as losing face (e.g., see Karkkainen 2004; Marquardt 2017; Nair 2019). Colonial and authoritarian legacies can also inspire nationalism and hence trust that facilitates state‐societal engagement in socio‐economic development (Haque 2013; Kenney‐Lazar 2019).…”

Studies on renewable energy (RE) policies and policy making have generally focused on the Global North. This article homes in on how trust, an underexamined concept in the multi‐level governance literature, affects RE trajectories in Malaysia and Indonesia. Through comparative analysis, we find that different levels of trust result in similar degrees of RE policy support, but dissimilar degrees of engagement between state and societal actors in RE policy making. Negative expectations of the social grievances engendered by RE transitions contribute to reluctant, though legitimized, pursuits of clean energy production and consumption. Meanwhile, trust in actors' nationalism—that is, in opposing a Global North environmental agenda and demonstrating constitutionally aligned resource management in Malaysia and Indonesia, respectively—facilitates more inclusive policy making. Due to greater nationalism, Indonesia's state‐society engagement in RE governance is stronger and leads to a civil RE movement that outpaces Malaysia's overall.

“…Marquardt [55] claims that ODA cannot force energy transition, but can become a driving force for creating niches for technological experiments and policy innovations. Scaling up the niche level developments into full-fledged energy transitions is more successful when the donor considers the recipient's domestic policy priorities and complex interlinkages within macro-societal structures [56,57]. Yet, Kim [58,59] holds that donors' energy aid-giving patterns changed after the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol, and now their aid decisions are influenced by the recipient energy needs aligned with the SDG.…”

Non-hydropower Renewable Energy in Central Asia: Assessment of Deployment Status and Analysis of Underlying Factors

Despite globally progressing energy transition, the deployment of non-hydropower renewable energy (NHRE) in Central Asia is moderate and varies by country. This paper aims to explain why Central Asian countries with significant challenges in the energy sector are least engaged in NHRE development. In doing so, the paper first reviews scholarly work on renewable energy (RE) deployment in developing countries. For assessing the NHRE development status in Central Asian countries, the paper adopts a two-stage analytical framework. First, it assesses the current situation in these states' energy sectors in connection to their economic growth and development, environmental sustainability and energy security. Then, it analyses the preparedness of the national energy sectors for NHRE diffusion in six dimensions: structure of energy sector, RE regulation, institutions and governance, capital and investment, infrastructure and business environment, and human capital. Based on the results of the two-stage analysis, the paper argues that more advanced economically and institutionally countries are more likely to commence NHRE development.

“…The stage of execution of a policy by the responsible institutions and organisations is referred to as implementation. It is evident, therefore, that having a policy is one thing, but implementing it is another, and implementation is often the most challenging part (Wise, 2014) and (Marquardt, 2017). Clearly, the government is a key stakeholder, affecting nearly all aspects of mineral development and thus impacting many other key stakeholders.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an implementation plan for the new mineral policy development framework and mining cadastre system for Pakistan, which was developed in the first two papers of this series. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents an implementation plan based on three fundamental building blocks, namely, implementing an enabling institutional framework and other key elements of mineral policy framework (building block 1); mineral database and mining cadastre system (building block 2); and monitoring and evaluation (building block 3). Findings A new Ministry of Mineral Development (MMD) is suggested to be developed. A Mineral Development Advisory Committee (MDAC) is also suggested to be constituted under the Ministry of Planning and Development to oversee the development of the new MMD and to implement the actions suggested in the mineral policy development framework. The MDAC will implement the seven key elements of mineral policy development framework. Practical implications The design schema of PakMining Cadastre System for secure mineral rights system to attract local and foreign investments is presented. The implementation of institutional reforms, constitution of Mining Cadastre Directorate and implementation of other policy development frameworks is suggested for enabling environment. A comprehensive account of implementation and monitoring strategy is devised to be followed initially by the advisory committee and then by the MMD. Originality/value This paper presents original work on the implementation plan for a new mineral policy framework and mining cadastre system for Pakistan to extract maximum benefit from its mineral resources.
