Path-dependent National Systems or European Convergence? The Case of European Electricity Markets

Atle Midttun, Augusto Rupérez Micola and Terje Omland

Chapter 7 in Globalization and Institutions, 2003 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This volume investigates the relationship between economic globalization and institutions, or global governance, challenging the common assumption that globalization and institutionalization are essentially processes which exclude each other. Instead, the contributors to this book show that globalization is better perceived as a dual process of institutional change at the national level, and institution building at the transnational level. Rich, supporting empirical evidence is provided along with a theoretical conceptualization of the main actors, mechanisms and conditions involved in trickle-up and trickle-down trajectories through which national institutional systems are being transformed and transnational rules emerge.
