摘要多中心气候治理的优点引起了广泛的讨论。一方面，多中心治理为自上而下的以国家为中心的形式提供了一种替代方案，这种形式迄今为止被证明是难以捉摸的。另一方面，高度网络化的系统增加了协调方面的挑战。对实现协调所需的不同能力的注意较少。在这篇文章中，我们将探讨通过在加勒比海的马尾藻流入管理的案例研究的多中心治理的协调。自2011年以来，大量马尾藻被冲上加勒比海滩，造成了不利的社会经济影响。我们对马尾藻管理政策的分析表明，一个新生的多中心系统在整个地区的政策制定和应用方面产生了重要的合作。然而，在参与这种形式的治理和执行商定行动方面，国家能力仍然不足。我们的结论是，多中心气候治理制度的倡导者需要考虑能力如何塑造参与，以最大和最强的优势。多中心治理对于解决不同的跨境环境问题可能是有用的，但它也会给最小的环境问题带来代价，而这一点迄今为止尚未得到承认和理论化。
Abstract The merits of polycentric climate governance have attracted considerable discussion. On the one hand, polycentric governance offers an alternative to top-down state-centric forms that have so far proven elusive. On the other, highly networked systems increase coordination challenges. Less attention has been paid to the varying capacities required to achieve coordination. In this article we explore the coordination of polycentric governance via a case study of sargassum influx management in the Caribbean. Since 2011, large quantities of sargassum seaweed have been washing up on Caribbean beaches with adverse socio-economic impacts. Our analysis of sargassum management policies reveals that a nascent polycentric system has generated significant cooperation in policy development and application across the region. However, there remain national capacity deficits to engage in this form of governance and to implement agreed actions. We conclude that advocates of a polycentric climate governance regime need to consider how capacity shapes participation, to the advantage of the largest and strongest. Polycentric governance can be useful for solving disparate cross-border environmental problems, but it also imposes a cost on the smallest that has thus far been unacknowledged and undertheorized.
