- Resumen
This thesis consists of three articles that study qualitatively investment in natural gas infrastructure with emphasis on regulatory governance, energy policy and governability using different research methodologies. The explanandum is multi-dimensional, multidisciplinary, comparable and relevant to the Social and Political Sciences. The first and third articles address the research question under what conditions the interaction of the national and international experience, institutional conditions, economic conditions, input markets, industry conditions, regulatory governance and regulatory and energy policies attracted investment in gas infrastructure in Australia and Sweden during the period 2001-2011. The second article answers the research question of what sorts of governability components attracted investment in gas infrastructure in Mexico over the period 1995-2015. Literature on regulatory governance, energy policy, private investment in utilities’ infrastructure, historical institutionalism and interactive governance provide the theoretical core of this research. The main objective is generating knowledge about the explanandum.
