Zusammenfassung
Technically speaking, the answers given above only relate to the four cases analyzed in this study. However, as Collier and Mahoney (1996: 63) have emphasized, “if […] researchers seek to make causal inferences, they should, in principle, be concerned about the larger comparison.” As such, we should assess whether the conclusions of this study can help gain insights into the general process of prevention-focused regulatory cooperation. In order to do so, it is important to assess to what extent the conclusions can be generalized to other cases. In this final section, I will discuss this problem for three types of generalizations: other environmental and consumer protection issues; other issue areas; and other countries or trade relations.
