This dissertation examines how the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)... more This dissertation examines how the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the associated policy processes contest, influence, and will lead to transformative change in prevailing unsustainable routines embedded in socioeconomic systems. The guiding research question is: whether and how the interplay between a broad range of transnational climate governance authorities and existing modes of intergovernmental cooperation exerts a significant influence on the policy domain of climate change? How we effectively harness the force in raising ambition, in particular on the mitigation issue? This constitutes a study of themes of collective action, global governance, and international relations. The adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015 leads to a paradigm shift of international cooperation, leading to the advent of a new governance mechanism: the hybrid multilateralism. Accordingly, the scholarly literature in the field of international relations is currently focusing on new governance like changing patterns of authority in world politics. Nevertheless, comparative studies of the linkage between domestic politics and the new governance are yet to be explored, given the Paris Agreement gives substantial discretion for governments under the Pledge and Review mechanism. Now, scaling up ambition is at the core of the global climate cooperation agenda. In this vein, the main argument of this dissertation is that the stagnant ambition is attributed to the lack of institutions and political processes to produce a socially acceptable response toward low-carbon economy society. Thus, raising the ambition will rely on how the governments play an effective and significant role as the center of 'non-hierarchical orchestration' in collaboration with transnational and multilateral actors. From the theoretical framework of the embeddedness, this dissertation presents a narrative exploration of the interplay between the intergovernmental cooperation and diverse domestic political system. To test these theoretical propositions, both quantitative and qualitative methods are employed.
