on access, allocation, power and agency, institutions, and overall earth system governance. Chapter 4 then uses this framework to assess biofuels’ international policy
context as a proxy for what exists to date on bioeconomy governance.
Part II contrasts bioeconomy promotion in the contexts of Brazil (Chapter 5),
India (Chapter 6), and Indonesia (Chapter 7). These chapters will present in-depth
analyses of the governance arrangements and political strategizing in each of these
emerging countries—their institutional frameworks, distributive outcomes, and the
role of agency. Chapter 8 then compares the three cases to identify patterns and draw
lessons on biofuel production and bioeconomy governance while paying particular
attention to emerging economies’ characteristic features.
Chapter 9 concludes the book with its core messages, explaining why certain
biofuel production patterns have prevailed. It discusses the importance of changing
course early on to improve sustainability outcomes as bioeconomy pathways gain
traction. The chapter draws various recommendations for institutional redesign and
further research, and reflects on the vital importance of social dimensions for avoiding
the bioeconomy’s capture by narrow political agendas.
