Demanding development: The political economy of climate finance and overseas investments from China
This paper examines the drivers of Chinese overseas financing in renewable energy and the political economy factors in recipient countries that steer this finance towards climate-friendly projects. We examine utility-scale renewable energy projects in Argentina, Bulgaria, Chile, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Pakistan, and Romania. Through in-depth interviews with policymakers and relevant stakeholders, we gathered data on the factors that le…
Causality in Comparative Policy Analysis: Introduction to a Special Issue of the JCPA
The problem raised by causality in comparative policy analysis is twofold. First, how can we be sure there is actually a causal relationship between two variables, factors or events? Second, what do we really know about the causal forces, the individual motivations and the institutions at work between the alleged explanandum and the explanans (and vice versa)? The answer to these questions depends on whether we intend to predict what can or will …
How transparency enhances public accountability: The case of environmental governance in Chile
The contribution of policy design to realist evaluation
The literature on policy design provides insightful resources to improve policy evaluation. We compare how this literature addresses causation, evaluation, instrumentation, and intervention, based on different methodologies. Then, we explain how the realist approach can contribute to theory-based evaluation with multi-methods. We go through the process leading from the adoption of policy aims to the production of a policy outcome by a causal mech…

Explaining a Policy Paradigm Shift: A Comparison of Resource Nationalism in Bolivia and Peru
Using a policy design framework based on nodality, authority, treasure and organization instruments, the article studies the resurgence of resource nationalism in Latin America as a case of policy paradigm shift. It compares the gas policies implemented by Evo Morales in Bolivia and Ollanta Humala in Peru to explain how ideas and institutions are related in this process. The findings show that policy design is a crucial test to explain how ideas …
Indians, oil and politics. A recent history of Ecuador
El historiador estadounidense Allen Gerlach volvió sobre dos eventos dramáticos que surgieron en Ecuador a finales del siglo XX, la caída de Abdalá Bucaram y Jamil Mahuad. En 286 páginas escritas en un estilo de crónica periodística, él describe la “conmoción” de 1997-2000, en un contexto de crisis económica, de corrupción institucionalizada y de creciente disparidad social. El libro se divide en ocho capítulos, cuatro de los cuales son dedicados…
