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 sec...

The proposed network on “The European Green Deal: Governing the EU’s Transition towards Climate Neutrality and Sustainability” (GreenDeal-NET) focuses on one of the key European and global challenges. Its overarching objective is to provide a platform for collaboration and exchange on European climate and sustainability governance so as to (a) collect, share, discuss and advance relevant academic research/ teaching and (b) actively foster engagement and debate with policymakers and the broader public. GreenDeal-NET pursues its five specific objectives through six interlocking Work Packages (WPs). Based on professional management and coordination (WP1), the Network will establish GreenDeal-Connect, a new online platform for sharing knowledge and promoting exchange and debate (including peer review) (WP2); foster impactful new research collaboration and build research capacity (WP3); advance collaborative means, channels and capacities for teaching (WP4); foster novel academic and societal debate (WP5); and widely disseminate key findings, results and activities for high impact (WP6). The WPs are divided into a coherent set of tasks that will result in a rich array of outputs, including a lecture series, a PhD school, a MOOC, special issues/edited books, review articles, processes for advancing teaching and research collaboration, roundtable debates, academic conference panels, international conferences, policy-link workshops, policy impact papers, policy briefs, newsletters and podcasts. GreenDeal-NET will be run by a highly motivated, highlyqualified, multidisciplinary and diverse team from 12 leading universities across 11 European countries. This consortium will form the nucleus of a much wider network and community with broad reach across Europe and beyond. It will hence serve as an important focal point for academic work on the key geopolitical challenge of the climate and sustainability transition and its link with related societal and policy debates.
