Abstract:

This paper explores the interaction between intermestic “spheres of authority” in California’s effort to derive 20 percent of its electricity from renewable resources. Successful implementation of this policy depends on the cooperation of a mix of sub-national, international, and private sector actors. In the first year of implementation, cooperation has been most easily reached where authority in the matter is located outside of the sphere of influence of the renewable energy community (e.g., inter-state commerce, NAFTA). Cooperation has been most difficult to sustain in areas with the following characteristics: 1) timing problems between need and availability of information; 2) displacement between costs and benefits across jurisdictions; and/or 3) conflicting incentive structures among participating groups. The paper concludes with a discussion of implications for theory related to the domestic-foreign Frontier and efforts to implement comparable renewable energy policies in such contexts. (Note: The opinions, conclusions, and findings expressed in this paper are those of the author alone. Please see paper for full text of disclaimer.)
