U okolnostima sve primjetnijih klimatskih promjena, koje su najuo ? ljivije u fenomenu globalnog zatopljenja, postaje sve jasnije da energetika utemeljena na iskoristavanju fosilnih goriva znatno pridonosi toj pojavi. Zbog toga mno- ge zemlje uvi?aju potrebu za promjenom policy-paradigme u podru?ju ener- getske politike, to zna?i sve ve?e oslanjanje na obnovljive izvore energije i pove?anje energetske u?inkovitosti. Autor provodi studiju slu?aja Njema?ke - predvodnice europskih nastojanja na povezivanju energetike utemeljene na obnovljivim izvorima i zatiti okolia, ali i na o?uvanju sigurnosti opskrbe energijom. U radu se testira je li takva orijentacija Njema?ke utemeljena na njezinu policy-kapacitetu - "sposobnosti raspore?ivanja nunih resursa za do- noenje razboritih kolektivnih odluka o alokaciji oskudnih resursa za ostvari- vanje javnih ciljeva i postavljanje stratekih smjernica u tu svrhu" (Painter i Pierre, 2005: 2), te se zaklju?uje da su upravo te unutarnje determinante dra- ve, a ne policy-difuzija, odigrale glavnu ulogu u zauzimanju vode?eg poloaja Njema?ke u ostvarivanju "nove energetske paradigme".

THE IMPACT OF STATE POLICY CAPACITY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENERGY POLICY IN GERMANY: A CASE STUDY OF THE 'NEW ENERGY PARADIGM'
Summary
Under the circumstances of increasingly visible climate change, most notably in the phenomenon of global warming, it has become more and more clear that the energy industry based on the exploitation of fossil fuels has signifi- cantly contributed to this development. Therefore, many countries acknowledge the need for a policy paradigm shift in the field of energy policy, which implies an increased relying on renewable energy sources and the improvement of energy efficiency. The author conducts a case study of Germany - a forerunner in European efforts to link the energy industry based on renewable sources and environmental protection, and also on maintaining the security of energy supply. The paper tests whether this orientation of Germany is based on its policy capacity - "the ability to marshal the necessary resources to make intelligent collective choices about and set strategic directions for the allocation of scarce resources to public ends" (Painter i Pierre, 2005: 2), and concludes that it is the internal state determinants, rather than policy diffusion, which have played a central role in Germany's attainment of a leadership position in the...
