International and domestic challenges in Indonesia’s climate policy transfer: A case study of reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+)

This thesis analyses the linkages between domestic and international drivers of Indonesia's climate policy, focusing upon reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation plus conservation (REDD+), using a multi-level analysis within an international policy transfer framework, which covers global, state, and organizational levels. This thesis contributes to the policy transfer literature by emphasising historical trajectories both at the global and domestic levels, demonstrating how past events have influenced current policy and its implementation and how structural relations and organisational agency, especially in the context of political and economic contingencies, may constrain policy transfer and generate policy resistance and rejections.
