This Elements examines the interplay between international climate change mitigation commitments and domestic policymaking, focusing on the gaps between mitigation targets in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and their national-level counterparts. It introduces a typology of countries - leading, cautious, performative, and lagging - based on their NDC ambition and policy harmonisation. By employing the novel Vertical Policy Harmonisation indices, this Elements provides theoretical, empirical, and analytical insights into the factors driving mitigation ambition and implementation gaps. Through case studies and large-N analysis, it identifies structural, political, and economic challenges affecting countries' mitigation performance. The findings underscore the need for societal transformations and robust policy frameworks to enhance mitigation ambition and harmonisation across governance levels. Concluding with actionable recommendations, the Elements contributes to a deeper understanding of how to bridge the ambition and implementation gaps critical to achieving global temperature goals. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

This edited volume compares seven countries in North America and Europe on the highly topical issue of oil and gas development that uses hydraulic fracturing or “fracking.” The comparative analysis is based on the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) and guided by two questions: First, in each country, what are current coalitions and the related policy output? Second, based on the current situation, what are the chances for future policy change? This book is the first to use a social science approach to analyze hydraulic fracturing debates and the first application of the ACF that is deliberately comparative. The contributions in this book advance our understanding about the formation of coalitions and development of public policy in the context of different forms of government and economically recoverable natural resources.

With the consequences of climate change and biodiversity loss becoming more and more apparent, both the protection of water resources and water-related ecosystems as well as protection from water, that is flood protection policies, have become increasingly important. This book explores the latest applications of network analysis concepts and measures to the study and practice of water governance. Given the holistic complexity of water governance, it covers individual water governance aspects such as flood protection and fisheries, as well as overarching concepts like integrated water management and social-ecological interactions. The book provides an overview of current water governance issues, network analytic concepts as well as implications for practice. The main body of the text is made up of eight case studies by world-leading environmental governance scholars, each of which addresses one water-related challenge by applying a variety of networkapproaches. The first part of the book highlights network dispersion and fragmentation, the second focuses on how such fragmentation in networks can be overcome and the third deals with specific roles of actors in networks. This collection is a key resource for scholars and practitioners interested in water governance all over the world. It provides readers with an overview of the potential of network analytic concepts for research on complex governance problems.
