Abstract
This master’s thesis, titled "An Analysis of Policy Transfer: A Cross-Case Comparison of the 'Water As Leverage' Programme in Indonesia and the Wadden Sea Region," aims to uncover how knowledge transfer and policy adaptation occur in water governance. The thesis highlights the urgency of effective water management amidst climate change, urbanisation, and other challenges, which requires international collaboration for sharing best practices and innovative solutions, with a focus on policy transfer as a mechanism for enhancing decision-making and addressing water-related issues. The theoretical framework encompasses concepts such as water challenges, policy learning, and power dynamics, while the methodology outlines a case study approach to analyse the practical applications of policy transfer. The research seeks to address both the opportunities and limitations of policy transfer in enhancing water governance, ultimately resulting in more effective and inclusive water management strategies. Interview insights show the critical role of funding, networking, and effective communication in overcoming these challenges, showing the necessity of collaboration and community engagement for successful programme development.
