%T Bringing the low-carbon agenda to China: a study in transnational policy diffusion %A Hofem, Andreas %A Heilmann, Sebastian %J Journal of Current Chinese Affairs %N 1 %P 199-215 %V 42 %D 2013 %@ 1868-4874 %~ GIGA %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:18-4-5965 %X This study traces the transnational interactions that contributed to introducing the low-carbon economy agenda into Chinese policymaking. A microprocessual two-level analysis (outside-in as well as inside-access) is employed to analyse transnational and domestic exchanges. The study provides evidence that low-carbon agenda-setting - introduced by transnational actors, backed by foreign funding, promoted by policy entrepreneurs from domestic research institutes, propelled by top-level attention, but only gradually and cautiously adopted by the government bureaucracy - can be considered a case of effective transnational diffusion based on converging perceptions of novel policy challenges and options. Opinion leaders and policy-brokers from the government-linked scientific community functioned as effective access points to the Chinese government's policy agenda. %C DEU %G en %9 Zeitschriftenartikel %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
