AbstractThe literature on policy convergence has identified numerous facets and causal drivers of convergence. Distinguishing four dimensions of convergence (object, benchmark, drivers and directed process) helps clarify why and in what form policy convergence may occur (or not). Thus, depending on, for example, the object of analysis (policy outcome or instruments used), the same empirical case may give rise to opposing assessments. Furthermore, both economic and political drivers are necessary to account for successful policy convergence: economic convergence partly explains why countries may face similar problems, and political mechanisms explain why they might choose similar policies to solve a given problem. This article illustrates the multifaceted character of convergence for the dynamic field of renewable energy policies in the European Union. The empirical results indicate temporary convergence in the case of policy support instrument choices and conditional convergence in terms of renewable shares. However, the results suggest divergence of public R&D subsidies targeting renewables.

European Union countries (EU), because they have to import a large portion of the consumed energy, on the one hand are trying to develop effective energy consumption, and on the other hand to increase their share of renewable energy sources in total energy consumption. In this context, the European Commission, published "2017 Progress Report" about renewable energy sources in the framework of EU 2020 Renewable Energy Targets". In this report, it is indicated that the share of renewable energy sources in final energy consumption has been increased to 16,4% and with regards to renewable energy sources, a vast majority of EU countries are compatible with their 2020 targets. The EU's policy towards renewable energy sources supports the "Energy Union Action Plan" in five categories: Energy security, market integration, energy efficiency, decarbonization and innovation. For instance, within the framework of energy security, the increase in EU renewable energy sources saved 16 billion Euros in fossil fuel imports in 2015. In accordance with "Clean Energy Package for Europe", emphasized the importance of providing cheap energy to the countries within EU market. Greenhouse gas emissions have declined with consuming renewable energy sources. The purpose of this study is to provide the latest developments in long-standing renewable energy policies in the EU and Turkey comparatively. In this context, first, the Turkey's renewable energy policies will be studied comparatively, thereafter, the effectiveness of these policies in the EU and Turkey will be investigated.

Energy policies in the US and in the EU during the last decades have been focused on enhanced oil and gas recovery, including the so-called tertiary extraction or enhanced oil recovery (EOR), on one hand, and the development and implementation of renewable energy vectors, on the other, including biofuels as bioethanol (mainly in US and Brazil) and biodiesel (mainly in the EU) [...]

AbstractThis study aims to determine the implementation of new energy and renewable energy policies in the context of national energy security. The research method used is legal research that uses a regulatory approach. The results of the study show that the implementation of new energy and renewable energy policies in the context of national energy security has proceeded as it should. This can be seen from the role of the government in making policies (beleid) and management actions (bestuursdaad), arrangements (regelendaad), management (beheersdaad) and supervision (toezichthoudensdaad) for the purpose of maximizing the people's prosperity. Keywords: Energy Policy, Renewable Energy, National Energy SecurityAbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Implementasi kebijakan energi baru dan energi terbarukan dalam rangka ketahanan energy nasional. Metode penelitian yang diguankan adalah penelitian hukum yang menggunakan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa Implementasi kebijakan energi baru dan energi terbarukan dalam rangka ketahanan energy nasional telah berjalan sebagaimana mestinya. Hal tersebut dapat dilihat dari  dari peran pemerintah untuk mengadakan kebijakan (beleid) dan tindakan pengurusan (bestuursdaad), pengaturan (regelendaad), pengelolaan (beheersdaad) dan pengawasan (toezichthoudensdaad) untuk tujuan sebesar-besarnya kemakmuran rakyat.Kata kunci: Kebijakan Energi, Energy Terbarukan, Ketahanan Energi Nasional
