Transnational communication and domestic environmental policy learning
Journal Title: ESSACHESS - Journal for Communication Studies - Year 2014, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
This article seeks to provide patterns of how transnational communication may lead to domestic policy learning. Existing theories of policy learning, policy diffusion and policy convergence assume that transnational communication may lead to domestic policy learning and policy change, but do not suggest general, empirically investigated patterns. Two case studies on the policy of noise abatement around airports and the policy of contaminated land show that different venues in which transnational communication takes place may induce different types of policy change at the national level.
