Climate Change Governance

The world of climate politics is increasingly no longer confined to the activities of national governments and international negotiations. Critical to this transformation of the politics of climate change has been the emergence of new forms of transnational governance that cut across traditional state-based jurisdictions and operate across public and private divides. This book provides the first comprehensive, cutting-edge account of the world of transnational climate change governance. Co-authored by a team of the world's leading experts in the field and based on a survey of sixty case studies, the book traces the emergence, nature and consequences of this phenomenon, and assesses the implications for the field of global environmental politics. It will prove invaluable for researchers, graduate students and policy makers in climate change, political science, international relations, human geography, sociology and ecological economics.

在當代全球秩序之下，氣候變遷議題一直受到「國家」的主宰，本書以國家利益中心主義作為全書論述與批判的對象，藉由氣候變遷議題，對以國家為本位的治理，尋求制度和理論的突破。 在當代全球秩序之下，氣候變遷的協商一直受「國家」主導，參與協商的國家從利益出發，造成共識難產與行動拖延；相對地，氣候變遷的治理則呈現多層次並行、管制工具多元、以及減緩與調適並重的現象與需求，再再考驗決策者與「氣候公民」的智慧與決心。
