TRANSPACE: The Emergence of Global Administrative Spaces in Transnational Climate Policymaking

本项目旨在分析跨国气候政策制定中全球行政空间的出现及其对具体问题政策话语的影响。该项目借鉴了对国际官僚机构的研究（Knill and Bauer 2016; Bauer et al. 2017; Ege et al. 2020）、跨国管理（Ladi and Stone 2015; Moloney and Stone 2020; Stone and Moloney 2019）、全球行政空间（Kingsbury et al. 2005; Chiti and Wessel 2011），以及关于全球气候治理架构的更广泛文献（Aldy and Stavins 2007; Biermann et al. 2009; Keohane and Victor 2011）。这些治理安排的官僚主义方面将被特别审查。国际或跨国行政空间的概念在公共行政和国际关系领域相对较新。Kingsbury等人（2005,20）确定了五种类型的全球管理，它们共同构成了全球管理空间的特征：正式国际组织的行政管理，通过国家管理当局之间合作协定的跨国网络以集体行动为基础的行政管理，由国家管理当局在合同、网络或其他合作制度内进行的分散行政管理，通过政府间-私营混合协定的行政管理，以及具有管理职能的私营机构的行政管理。在经验方面，该项目以通过国际公共行政社会网络收集的定量数据为基础。进一步的纵向数据将收集和分析使用推理社会网络分析和自然语言处理。这将允许进行方法学三角测量，以分析国际组织秘书处在跨国气候政策话语联盟中的作用。拟议的项目系统地建立在以前关于气候政策国际条约秘书处社会网络的研究基础上。本项目旨在通过应用新的方法来分析超越民族国家的行政结构的出现，从而扩展这一研究（Kingsbury, Krisch, and Stewart 2005），并为进一步的理论建设做出贡献。

This project seeks to analyze the emergence of a global administrative space in transnational climate policymaking and its impact on issue-specific policy discourses. The project draws on research on international bureaucracies (Knill and Bauer 2016; Bauer et al. 2017; Ege et al. 2020), transnational administration (Ladi and Stone 2015; Moloney and Stone 2020; Stone and Moloney 2019), and Global Administrative Spaces (Kingsbury et al. 2005; Chiti and Wessel 2011), as well as broader literature on global climate governance architecture (Aldy and Stavins 2007; Biermann et al. 2009; Keohane and Victor 2011). The bureaucratic side of these governance arrangements will be particularly examined. The concept of International or Transnational Administrative Spaces is relatively new in the fields of Public Administration and International Relations. Kingsbury et al. (2005, 20) identify five types of global administration that together characterize Global Administrative Spaces: administration by formal international organizations, administration based on collective action through transnational networks of cooperative agreements between national regulatory authorities, decentralized administration carried out by national regulatory authorities within contracts, networks or other cooperative regimes, administration through hybrid intergovernmental-private agreements, and administration by private institutions with regulatory functions. Empirically, the project is based on quantitative data collected through the social networks of International Public Administrations (IPAs). Further longitudinal data will be collected and analyzed using inferential social network analysis and natural language processing. This will allow for methodological triangulation to analyze the role of international organization secretariats in discourse coalitions on transnational climate policy. The proposed project systematically builds on previous research on social networks of international treaty secretariats in climate policy. This project aims to expand on this research by applying new methods to analyze the emergence of administrative structures beyond nation-states (Kingsbury, Krisch, and Stewart 2005) and contribute to further theory-building.
