在多层次和多中心的治理竞技场中，影响的途径和机制是多种多样的，非国家的技术领导能力和规范创业能力证明比严格的多边框架内的情况更为重要。具有这种能力的行为体包括市政当局，它们通过横向和纵向关系扩大其影响。跨国城市网络为城市间对话和汇集全球影响力提供了机会，突出了城市在世界上的存在和影响力。本文探讨了一些城市对气候变化的集体反应，通过分析两个跨国城市网络：国际地方环境倡议理事会的气候保护城市和国际太阳能城市倡议，探索城市在全球环境政治中的地位。本文解决了以下问题：如何可能对气候稳定的未来市政努力是重要的生态正义在全球环境政治的更大的问题？城市是否能够重新定义游戏规则，并对“低效”的规范采取立场？在简要说明了城市与世界的关系之后，本文将技术领导力描述为全球环境治理的合法化力量，并将规范企业家精神描述为全球环境政治中的颠覆和颠覆的潜在来源。本文从污染、环境退化和风险以及管理和政治方面描述了城市正在全球化的情况。最后，文章探讨了新兴的横向和纵向关系，城市间关系，城市或城市网络和其他规模的治理之间的关系，加强城市在气候治理中的合法化作用和在气候政治中的颠覆性作用的可能性。本文摘要的中文版可在以下网址获得：www.informaworld.com/rglo
In a multilevel and multicentric governance arena, pathways and mechanisms of influence are several and non-state capacities for technical leadership and norm entrepreneurship prove more significant than is the case within a strictly multilateral framework. Among actors with such capacities are municipalities, which multiply their influence through horizontal and vertical relationships. Transnational municipal networks present opportunities for both intermunicipal dialogue and the pooling of global influence, highlighting the presence and influence of the city in the world. This paper examines the collective response of some cities to climate change, exploring the place of cities in global environmental politics through analysis of two transnational municipal networks: the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives' Cities for Climate Protection and the International Solar Cities Initiative. The article addresses the following questions: How might municipal efforts toward a climate-stable future be significant to the larger issue of ecological justice in global environmental politics? Might cities be able to redefine the rules of the game and take a stand on ‘inefficient’ norms? After briefly accounting for the relationship between cities and the world, the article characterizes technical leadership as a legitimizing force of and in global environmental governance and norm entrepreneurship as a potential source of contestation and subversion in global environmental politics. The paper describes what cities are globalizing, in terms of pollution, environmental degradation, and risk, and in terms of management and politics. Finally, the article explores the possibility that emerging horizontal and vertical relationships, intermunicipal relationships, and relationships between cities or networks of cities and other scales of governance potentiate legitimizing roles for cities in climate governance and subversive roles in climate politics.
