    Globalisierung und der variierende Wandel nationaler Politiken im internationalen Vergleich
    in Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft , 17. Jahrgang (2007), Heft 4 ,  2007 ,  1143-1163
    Globalization and the Varying Change of National Policies in Comparative Perspective Taking the time span between the years 1970 and 2000 this article traces the change of national science and technology policies in the Netherlands, Switzerland and Sweden and explains why the changes vary to a significant extent. I will argue that variations in policy change are not the overriding result of growing globalization of science and technology activities but first of all reflect the dynamics of institutionalization processes (relating to veto points within a political system, the degree of Europeanization, and politico-economic traditions and structures) within a policy area. In sum, this means that the impact of growing globalization on national policies plays an inferior role, especially when in parallel a change of national-institutional structures or of processes of European integration occur.
