Dear colleagues,
Marielle and I are putting together a panel at the ISA Annual Conference in Toronto next year on alternative theoretical approaches to the study of Transnational Climate Change Governance. All theoretical and empirical papers exploring these issues are welcome. Please see below for a preliminary abstract. *Climate and the City: Alternative theoretical approaches to the study of Transnational Climate Change Governance* In the past decades, transnational actors have gained great influence in the global arena and now actively participating in shaping climate politics. Yet research on transnational relations in climate governance is dominated by state-centered theoretical approaches which emphasize the effects of these relations on international actors, regimes, and institutions. Although these approaches are crucial, they do not cover the diversity and complexity of transnational relations. Thus, the analysis of different actors may imply the use of different tools. In that sense, this panel focuses on urban settings to explore alternatives approaches in the analysis of transnational climate governance. It makes special emphasis on multidisciplinary studies and innovative methodologies that contribute to a more effective communication across theoretical and methodological boundaries. The abstracts should be no more than 200 words. They have to include a title (no more than 50 words), tags, and the author(s) information (position, institution, and e-mail). All abstracts should be sent by May 20th to Marielle Papin-Manjarrez ([email protected]). Notification of the acceptance will be sent by e-mail by May 31st the latest. The panel proposal will then be submitted by June 1st.
