Description
Summary:The national level has become increasingly important in the study and practice of climate politics. In its move towards a more bottom-up architecture, the Paris Agreement has ushered in a new focus on domestic policy through nationally determined contributions. Scholarly attention has seen a similar shift. Once principally the domain of international relations scholars, the study of climate change politics has paid increasing attention to the determinants of national action (Harrison and Sundstrom 2010, Steinberg and Vandeveer 2012, Cao et al. 2014). Starting from the premise that domestic politics and national governments have a key role to play in climate policymaking, this literature has focused on the politics of national climate legislation (Carter and Jacobs 2014, Lorenzoni and Benson 2014, Fankhauser et al. 2015a, 2015b, Torney 2017, Averchenkova et al. 2018, Wagner and Ylä-Anttila 2018), carbon taxation (Harrison 2010, 2012), and on broder sets of climate policy outputs and outcomes (Christoff and Eckersley 2011, Jenson and Spoon 2011, Compston and Bailey 2012, Bernauer and Böhmelt 2013, Boasson 2013, Lachapelle and Paterson 2013, Tobin 2017).
