Advances a novel analytical framework along with highly original
empirical work - will set the agenda for research in this area
moving forward. Measures the effectiveness of PPP's in governance,
in a way that previous books have failed to do. The multifaceted
framework for disaggregating the meaning of effectiveness (and for
measuring it) will be relevant well beyond the study of PPPs alone
- the book will therefore be useful for those studying other
varieties of cross-border governance as well.
Following the 2015 Paris climate agreement, the global politics of
climate change depends more than ever on national climate policies
and the actions of cities, businesses, and other non-state actors,
as well as the transnational governance networks that link them.
The Comparative Politics of Transnational Climate Governance sheds
new light on these critical trends by exploring how domestic
political, economic, and social forces systematically shape
patterns of non-state actor participation in transnational climate
initiatives. The book develops a common conceptual framework and
uses a unique data set to explore the interplay between
transnational and domestic politics and how these interactions
shape the incentives and modalities of participation in
transnational governance. The contributing chapters explore the
role of cities, non-governmental organizations, companies, carbon
markets, and regulations, as well as broader questions of
effectiveness and global governance. Bringing together some of the
foremost experts in the field of global governance and
environmental politics, this book significantly advances our
understanding of transnational governance and provides new insights
for policymakers seeking to address the problem of climate change.
This book was originally published as a special issue of
International Interactions.

Global partnerships have transformed international institutions by
creating platforms for direct collaboration with NGOs, foundations,
companies and local actors. They introduce a model of governance
that is decentralized, networked and voluntary, and which melds
public purpose with private practice. How can we account for such
substantial institutional change in a system made by states and for
states? Governance Entrepreneurs examines the rise and outcomes of
global partnerships across multiple policy domains: human rights,
health, environment, sustainable development and children. It
argues that international organizations have played a central role
as entrepreneurs of such governance innovation in coalition with
pro-active states and non-state actors, yet this entrepreneurship
is risky and success is not assured. This is the first study to
leverage comprehensive quantitative and qualitative analysis that
illuminates the variable politics and outcomes of public-private
partnerships across multilateral institutions, including the UN
Secretariat, the World Bank, United Nations Environment Programme
(UNEP), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations
Children's Fund (UNICEF).
It is increasingly clear that the world of climate politics is 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.
