Transnational Policy Entrepreneurs

  • 191 Accesses

Abstract

This introductory chapter shows that transnational policy entrepreneurs are receiving ever more scholarly attention as global cooperation increases and as international organizations are more and more challenged. Drawing on the state of the art in literature, this chapter introduces new research questions on bureaucratic influence and knowledge circulation in global cooperation. It argues that understanding transnational activities of policy entrepreneurs for ‘Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development’ (PCSD) will contribute to explaining global policy change and sustainability innovations. The chapter presents the research objectives and shows how my empirical research intends to enrich academic literature on international policy transfer and international bureaucracy. I outline the theoretical problems that global policy-making poses and explain the case selection.
