SoSe 13: Multi-level Climate Governance
Kirsten Jörgensen-Ullmann
Comments
Climate policy takes place in multi-level institutional structures. This is not only the case in federal states such as Canada, Germany, India and United States but also in the quasi-federal system of the European Union as well as in centralized political systems such as Japan, France and Israel. The institutional setting therein, as well as the division of tasks between different political levels, most likely effects problem-solving capacity in one way or another. Multi-level structures have their assets and drawbacks; as can be demonstrated by the background of numerous examples - among them US and European climate protection policies -, they provide for both innovation and gridlock. The purpose of this seminar is to study the constraints and potentials of political decision-making, implementation and management in multi-level climate governance. Our main field of interest will be the cross-sectional problem of climate change and the policy areas related to it inter alia energy policy and industrial policy. We will compare the dynamics of multi-level governance in a number of countries in respect to these policy issues and draw conclusions on the assets and drawbacks of their governance structures for effective problem-solving. close
