Abstract Much existing empirical research on polycentric climate governance (PCG) systems examines small-N examples. In response, we aim to advance studies of PCG by exploring, and reflecting on, the use large-N data sets for analyzing PCG. We Python (a programming language) create a novel set from United Nations’ Global Climate Action Portal. This method allows us quantify key variables 12,568 businesses located in Organization Economic Co-operation Development countries: number businesses’ commitments, their progress toward meeting those memberships “more polycentric” networks via transnational initiatives (TCIs). Our analysis these reveals that greater interconnectedness may strengthen policy performance, since with TCIs more commonly achieved commitments. Additional using data, and/or similar methods, could be conducted other areas international environmental governance, such as mining oil production.

Abstract We build on research polycentric climate governance and the strategic behavior of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to assess factors that determine partnership choices NGOs. More precisely, we are interested in how these relate type actors scale at which their partners operate. concentrate 195 NGOs based twenty-one Latin American countries. Our hypotheses postulate perceived benefits shaped by both country-level NGO-specific factors. network analysis reveals have formed networks with different types organizations, located scales system. The findings our regression models show especially explain NGOs’ explanatory power is lower for form partnerships, indicating need further theorizing.

Abstract All governance systems are polycentric to some extent in that they comprise multiple actors with varying degrees of autonomy. However, there has been limited theorization as how we might measure polycentricity, even though this could help us unpack networks and understand arrangements better. We present three dimensions conceptualize polycentricity—governance (internal organization management at the network level), by (their impacts membership (collaboration other system level). then trace evolution transnational municipal (the Climate Alliance, Covenant Mayors, 100 Resilient Cities/Resilient Cities Network), which located different positions along polycentric–monocentric spectrum. examine these have become more or less over time highlight trade-offs between governance, most notably by.
