“…All the main actors had something to gain from the proposed reform along the British lines in the insurance sector. By contrast, as mentioned above, this was not the case, for example, in securities market regulation, in particular the MiFID directive, nor the regulations of telecoms and electricity (Bulmer et al, 2007).…”

“…This literature can be divided into two main (inter-related) bodies of scholarly works, which often overlap. On the one side, the vast majority of works use the concept of 'policy transfer' and tend to focus on institutional variables at the EU level (Radaelli, 2000;Padgett, 2003;Bulmer and Padgett, 2004;Bulmer et al, 2007;Howell, 2004). This approach has a considerable explanatory leverage when different policy-making processes and case studies are analysed and compared, but it is somewhat less revealing when applied to one case study, especially if the research objective is to explain what has driven the reform process.…”

In the late 2000s, the European Union (EU) undertook a significant reform of the framework for insurance regulation and supervision through the Solvency II directive, which substantially updated prudential rules and supervisory practices. This article addresses the question of what has driven the reform of the framework for insurance regulation and supervision in the EU. It is argued that the politics of the Solvency II directive was characterised by a strong alliance between the Commission and the United Kingdom, backed up by the large member states, some old member states and industry, particularly large companies and transnational groups. The United Kingdom was, however, the pace setter, whose influence was underpinned by the size of its insurance market; the expertise and effective coordination of national policymakers, and a state-of-the-art domestic regulatory model.

“…Dans une première partie, il est question de revenir sur les principes mêmes du déve-loppement local qui sont déinis par l'UE et qui doivent, en théorie, s'appliquer à l'ensemble des États membres (Bulmer, Dolowitz, Humphereys, Padgett, 2007). Nous reviendrons particulièrement sur son assise théorique et ses modalités de transfert à chaque État membre (Delpeuch, 2009).…”

“…We analyze the Japanese FiT case using the model (Rose 2005; summarized in Table 2), to identify the characteristics of the policy transfer process, and to identify any significant relationships between processes and policy outcomes. Although the lesson drawing model has been criticized for its implicit assumption that the drawing process is both rational and voluntary (Bulmer et al 2007), for this study, where we assume that policy makers and law makers should rationally learn from available lessons to improve policy making outcomes, it is utilized as a normative guide for evaluation. The summary at Table 2 omits the first two steps of Rose's model, proposed as a practical guide for policy makers, originally composed of ten steps.…”

Feed-in Tariff Pricing and Social Burden in Japan: Evaluating International Learning through a Policy Transfer Approach

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Feed-in tariff (FiT) policy approaches for renewable energy (RE) deployment are employed in many nations around the world. Although FiTs are considered effective in boosting RE deployment, the issue of increasing energy bills and social burden is an often-reported negative impact of their use. The FiT has been employed in Japan since 2012, following after many developed countries, and, as was experienced in other nations, led to a social burden imparted on society significantly higher than initial government estimates. Although policy decision making does not necessarily reflect international policy experience, it is still prudent to ask how international policy experiences of social burden increase were considered within the Japanese approach. In this research, we analyzed the transfer process by adapting a conventional model to develop more objective observations than was previously possible, by setting a benchmark for evaluation based on prior international experiences. We identified two streams of policy transfer, each led by different actors; the government and representatives of the National Diet of Japan (Diet). Both actors were exposed to the same experiences, however the interpretation, application to policy development and priority settings employed were vastly different. Although the framework can only assess policy learning processes, we have found that the government undertook a reasonable and rational process toward learning, while, on the other hand, the modified bill developed by the Diet members did not thoroughly derive learnings in the same way, due to cognitive and political reasons, and specifically, the issue of limiting social burden was not addressed.
