Summary
Hart's 2019 policy analysis explores the parallel development of clean energy economic policy at state and local government levels in the United States. The work examines how different jurisdictional tiers coordinate (or diverge in) approaches to clean energy deployment and its economic consequences. As suggested by the title, the paper addresses tensions and complementarities between state-level and local-level policy design.
UK applicability
Whilst the paper focuses on United States federalism and state-local governance structures, the underlying principles of multi-level policy coordination for clean energy may inform UK devolved administration policy (Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) and central-local relationships. However, direct transferability is limited by differences in constitutional structure and energy regulatory frameworks.
Key measures
Policy mechanisms, governance structures, economic development outcomes, state and local regulatory frameworks
