许多学者和政策制定者将跨国治理视为暗淡的国家和国际政策的替代品，特别是在政府间僵局或国家能力有限的背景下。大部分文献解释了次级和非国家行为体参与跨国倡议一方面是微观层面激励的产物，另一方面是产生和传播规范和市场压力的扩散过程的产物。我们认为，这种理论观点忽视了国家政策与跨国治理之间的动态关系。首先，我们认为雄心勃勃的国家政策会积极影响亚国家和非国家行为体参与跨国治理。其次，我们假设国内制度制约了微观层面的激励和跨国压力对参与跨国治理的影响。我们在气候制度中测试了这些说法，使用了一个原始数据集，该数据集首次测量了跨司法管辖区跨国气候倡议的跨国参与。结果与我们的预期相符。因此，他们建议我们应该把国家政策和跨国治理理解为相互补充，而不是相互竞争。最后，通过展示国家政策如何以及何时影响跨国倡议的参与，我们确定了其在应对气候变化方面重要性的重要范围条件。
Many scholars and policymakers see transnational governance as a substitute for lackluster national and international policies, particularly in the context of intergovernmental gridlock or limited state capacity. The bulk of the literature explains sub- and non-state actors' participation in transnational initiatives as a product of, on the one hand, micro-level incentives and, on the other, diffusion processes that create and spread normative and market-based pressures. We argue that such theoretical perspectives overlook the dynamic relationship between national policies and transnational governance. First, we argue that ambitious national policies positively affect sub- and non-state actors' participation in transnational governance. Second, we posit that domestic institutions condition the effects of micro-level incentives and transnational pressures on participation in transnational governance. We test these claims in the climate regime, using an original dataset that, for the first time, measures cross-national participation in transnational climate initiatives across jurisdictions. The results support our expectations. They therefore suggest that we should understand national policies and transnational governance as complements, rather than competitors, to one another. Finally, by showing how and when national policies affect participation in transnational initiatives, we identify important scope conditions for their significance in addressing climate change.
