T ra nsna tio na l linka ge s a nd t he spill ove r of env iro n m ent- ef fi ci ency into develo pi ng c ountri es (2009, background): “Typically, this is explained in terms of coercive supply-chain pressures from enviro mentally-demanding buyers, but scholars have also pointed to the importance of reputational motives (Drezner, 2001, Perkins and Neumayer, forthcoming).”
Globalization, harmonization, and competition: the different pathways to policy convergence (2005, background): “Structural theories lack the capacity to explain variation in convergence outcomes (Drezner 2001).”
To what extent does transnational communication drive cross-national policy convergence? The impact of the bologna-process on domestic higher education policies (2011, background): “Policy convergence has emerged as a broadly studied phenomenon in the social sciences (Bennett 1991; Dolowitz and Marsh 2000; Drezner 2001; Knill 2005) including also studies examining convergence in HE degree structures (Rakic 2001; Bleiklie 2001; Witte 200~).”
When the birds sing. A framework for analysing domestic factors behind policy convergence (2005, neutral): “While the validity of far-reaching claims within this literature about convergence on the lowest regulatory level (race to the bottom) is highly disputable (cf. Drezner 2001), the impact of the domestic economic context as such on policy choices remains generally plausible.”
Introduction: Cross-national policy convergence: concepts, approaches and explanatory factors (2005, background): “This does not imply, however, that the empirical observation of converging policies must necessarily be the result of transfer or diffusion (Drezner 2001).”
The Global Diffusion of Regulatory Instruments: The Making of a New International Environmental Regime (2004, background): “Economic competition is often assumed to result in a “race to the bottom” in which countries lower their regulatory standards to avoid capital flight (Drezner 2001, 57-58).”
Dynamics of Regulatory Change: How Globalization Affects National Regulatory Policies (2002, background): “77 Esty 1994; Drezner 2001.”
Leaders and laggards in environmental policy: a quantitative analysis of domestic policy outputs (2009, background): “According to this dynamic, states with advanced domestic environmental policies tend to pull along other states through regulatory competition, by stimulating international regulation or by spreading innovations through various forms of transnational communication (e.g. Vogel 1995; Héritier 1996; Li”
Policy diffusion and policy transfer (2009, background): “…by international competition, whereby environmental, fiscal or labour standards convergence on a common low base, is a staple trope of much of the literature on globalization and policy diffusion (despite a conspicuous lack of supporting evidence, see Braithwaite and Drahos 2000, Drezner 2001).”
Is there convergence in convergence research? an overview of empirical studies on policy convergence (2005, background): “Excellent review articles already exist on this issue (Drezner 2001).”
Ecological modernisation: new perspectives (2008, background): “The particular characteristics of eco-innovations also help to explain why a regulatory ‘‘race to the bottom’’ at the expense of the environment has so far not taken place [12,54,29,18]: environmental regulation does not necessarily restrict innovation.”
The international sources of policy convergence: explaining the spread of environmental policy innovations (2005, background): “Unsurprisingly, thus, this type of structural explanation has increasingly been challenged (Drezner 2001).”
The Privatization of Education: A Political Economy of Global Education Reform (2016, background): “This literature tends to look at how certain policies (or policy models) are being globally diffused and adopted by numerous countries, independently of the will and preferences of domestic actors (Drezner, 2001).”
Global Capital and National Governments (2003, neutral): “15 See Cohen 1996, Drezner 2001, Evans 1997, Garrett 1998c for comprehensive reviews of this literature.”
