Given this political history of hydropower in Switzerland, a standard for sustainable hydropower operation was likely to provoke major political reactions. However, expectations associated with market liberalization also partly motivated actors to reconsider their original interest positions. However, solutions could not be found because the interlocked nature of the decision problem represented a classical social dilemma [11].

The story of Spanish chemical industry between the wars is that of a promising rise, a meritorious development, and a many-sided frustration that political history does not, by itself, explain.
