Produktbeschreibung

Global Cities and Climate Change examines the translocal relations of cities that have made an international effort to collectively tackle climate change. Using multi-methods such as multi-level analysis, comparative case studies, regression analysis and network analysis, Taedong Lee illustrates why some cities participated in transnational climate networks for cities; under what conditions cities internationally cooperate with other cities, with which cities; and which factors influence climate policy performance.
