Climate Change Governance under Sino-US Rivalry
Outline
This project combines two typically separate disciplines--International Relations and Sustainability Science--to examine how changes to the Sino-US relationship in certain strategic dimensions have shaped international and regional climate change governance. This project explores that while certain strategic actions taken by China and the US to enhance their respective power have noticeably and negatively impacted several important existing governances including international regimes, political arrangements, norms in a narrow, top-down sense, the rivalry might have also positively affected new normative development in a broad, bottom-up sense, such as movements in individual companies, industry, communities and local communities.
