Climate Norm Creation and Interactions with Energy Governance
From: Caroline Kuzemko
To: BISA Annual Conference, Dublin, June 2014
Outline:
- Paper explores EU climate benchmarking:
- How and why benchmarks are constructed – both revealing some of the assumptions behind them and considering how these become embedded in climate and energy governance
- Compliance at the national level: (UK and Germany) – increasingly important but reveals complexities and tensions
- Climate governance interacts with energy policies and the specific ways in which this takes place has consequences for climate benchmarks
- Approach – broadly a constructivist IPE approach (institutions)
- Themes:
- Benchmarks as normative, constructed and simplified/often numerical/technical – but tend not to see politics of compliance
- Climate governance as emergent, fluid (Stevenson 2011) and also as vulnerable to further qualification
