欧盟（EU）力求引领世界采取雄心勃勃的气候变化减缓目标和政策。为了描述并广泛解释由此产生的欧盟气候治理模式，学者们使用了“多层次强化”一词。这个术语确实有助于解释一种矛盾的情况，即欧盟寻求以身作则，但其本身却是一个相对无领导的治理体系。本文基于对欧盟气候治理演变的更全面的实证说明，发现该术语涵盖了欧盟方法的部分而非全部方面。它指出了欧盟方法的其他四个自相矛盾的特征，并评估了它们表现出“多层次强化”的程度。最后，它展望并审视了所有五个特征预计将在多大程度上促进和/或限制欧盟在气候治理方面保持领先地位的能力。
The European Union (EU) has sought to lead the world in the adoption of ambitious climate change mitigation targets and policies. In an attempt to characterize and broadly explain the resulting pattern of EU climate governance, scholars have employed the term “multi-level reinforcement.” This term does help to account for the paradoxical situation whereby the EU seeks to lead by example but is itself a relatively leaderless system of governance. Drawing on a much fuller empirical account of the evolution of EU climate governance, this article finds that the term captures some but not all aspects of the EU's approach. It identifies four other paradoxical features of the EU's approach and assesses the extent to which they exhibit “multi-level reinforcement.” It concludes by looking forward and examining the extent to which all five features are expected to enable and/or constrain the EU's ability to maintain a leading position in climate governance.
