"This is an excellent dissertation on two currently hot topics in policy debates: the role of institutions in policy-making and the states' role in promotion of technology The dissertation contributes to practical policy-making by showing how states can tweak their institutional arrangements to effectively support their preferred industries The dissertation makes good use of the Variety of Capitalism (VOC) literature to understand states' support for Environmental Technology. The author shows solid understanding of the potential and limitations of the VOC literature and one wishes he used it to suggest improvements in theorization on the subject which continues to treat institutions as more static than is actually the case." - M.
