Beschreibungen

<p>Political responses to climate change are shaped by beliefs and ideas. How does discourse on climate action and its contestation affect policy-making? Addressing this question, the book compares EU and US policy-making since the Paris Agreement and its framing by key political institutions. The empirical part analyses the structure, linkages and contestation of frames to evaluate the contrasting spaces of climate politics in both systems. As the first direct comparison of EU and US climate governance since the Paris Agreement, the book advances current research on the politics of climate change, the politicization of multi-level governance and the role of discourse for policy change.</p><p><br></p>

Contrasting policy development in both cases, it shows the power of ideas in explaining different approaches to tackling climate change. While recognizing the role of institutions and actor interest, Frank Wendler offers a solid empirical study of how discourse employed by key actors within both systems shapes their climate politics.
