From the Standing Group on Regulatory Governance.
The 2021 Giandomenico Majone Prize was awarded to Jose Maria Valenzuela, University of Oxford for his paper "System Operators and Regulatory Governance for the Rapid Decarbonisation of Electricity Systems: a State-Business Configuration Perspective", presented at the 8th Biennial Conference of the ECPR Standing Group on Regulatory Governance, Exeter, United Kingdom.
The Majone Prize Committee included Ulrika Mörth (chair), Martin Lodge, Alessia Damonte and Koen Verhoest.
According to the Committee, "the paper advances our understanding of regime dynamics on different national experiences, regulatory structures and legacies in the governance of electricity systems, and how governments can overcome the government's dilemma by mechanisms of reconfiguration of state-business regulations. The paper addresses a highly important and clear research problem and makes a convincing argument for how the study contributes to previous research on electricity governance The paper includes an extensive discussion of country cases and offers rich insights into state-business configurations in four different systems."
