In a period of rapid climate change and climate governance
failures, it is crucial to understand and address how effectively
different political institutions can and should react to climate
change. The term 'institutional response capacity' can be defined
as a measurement for how effective political institutions may
respond to threats and challenges such as climate change. This book
sets out to provide a venue for the discussion of how to conduct
climate politics by offering new perspectives on how social and
political institutions are capable of responding to climate change.
In doing so, the book explores how democracy, institutional design
and polycentric governance influence social and political entities'
capacity to mitigate, adapt, address and transform climate change.
The book offers building blocks for a new agenda of climate studies
by focusing on institutional response capacity and by offering a
new approach to climate governance at a time when many political
initiatives have failed. This interdisciplinary volume is a
valuable resource for academics, researchers and policy-makers in
the areas of anthropology, political science, geography and
environmental studies.
