Book excerpt: Through the launch of its energy transition - or Energiewende - Germany became a pioneer in a very ambitious policy emphasising the rapid development of renewable energy sources. However, while its role as a renewable energy (RE) policy promoter is clearly visible outside of Europe, we see much less policy convergence in Europe itself. In the framework of the Dahrendorf Symposium we have investigated the Polish-German cooperation in the renewable RE sector, looking for traces of policy diffusion in order to understand the visible lack of policy convergence. Focusing first on the differences between the two countries and then also within them - between the different levels of governance - the paper concludes by highlighting possible policy implications on this matter.
