尽管国际航运产生的温室气体排放量很大，而且很可能越来越多，对全球气候变化产生了相关的不利影响，但国际航运产生的温室气体排放既不受《京都议定书》的管制，也不受任何其他具有法律约束力、国际公认的条例的管制。本文旨在探讨目前国际航运温室气体排放监管的治理架构，以期分析该架构中的制度性碎片化程度是否导致了目前尚未建立具有法律约束力的国际公认法规的现状。基于治理碎片化的程度和特征对治理体系的有效性和绩效具有重要影响这一假设，本文重点研究了当前国际航运业气候变化治理的架构及其行为体之间的制度互动。因此，分析框架建立在国际环境治理、制度理论、机构相互作用和国际治理架构分散的方法基础上。
Despite the substantial and likely increasing contribution of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from international shipping and the related adverse impacts on global climate change, GHG emissions from international shipping are yet neither regulated by the Kyoto Protocol, nor through any other legally binding, internationally accepted regulation. This paper is looking into the governance architecture that is currently in place to regulate GHG emissions from international shipping with a view to analyze whether the institutional degree of fragmentation within this architecture is contributing to the current situation where no legally binding, internationally accepted regulation has been set up yet. Following the hypothesis that the degree and the characteristics of governance fragmentation have a crucial impact on the effectiveness and performance of a governance system, this paper focuses on the current architecture of climate change governance in international shipping and the institutional interplay between its actors. Therefore, the analytical framework builds on approaches from international environmental governance, regime theory, institutional interplay, and fragmentation in international governance architectures.
