Climate Policy Networks

Abstract

Climate change is a ‘wicked problem’ and a major challenge to governance and policymaking. A policy network analysis allows us to capture the complexities of formal institutional and informal linkages between diverse yet interdependent policy actors and enables us to explain how such arrangements shape climate change policymaking and policy implementation. The call is open to theoretical, empirical, and methodological contributions to climate policy networks. We particularly welcome studies on multi-level governance, coalition politics, socio-ecological systems, as well as multi-layer, comparative, and longitudinal policy networks analyses.
