The question of what makes policies that provide a global public good more likely to be adopted by states is addressed by the paper's quantitative explanation of how states adopt climate change policies, which draws on policy innovation literature. The author starts by reviewing existing state climate change policy adoption empirical evidence. Next, several analytic approach derived policy adoption regional diffusion models and internal determinants that test specific hypotheses are presented. Testing of policy diffusion is done as a function of policy change obstacles, resources, and motivations. Environmental conditions and citizen demands are some policy innovation motivations. State geographic and financial resources, including wind and solar potential, are some resources. Obstacles includes reliance on coal, natural gas, and other carbon-intensive industries by states. That internal factors, citizens' demands in particular, are stronger state policy predictors than neighboring states diffusion effects, are shown in the results.
