Abstract

Klimatske promjene i politike ublažavanja klimatskih promjena imaju svoje mjesto među ključnim problemima današnjice. Zbog sve vidljivijih posljedica klimatskih promjena, raste interes javnosti za strategije njihova ublažavanja. Od samog početka borbe s klimatskim promjenama, znanstvena zajednica je zauzela svoje mjesto tik uz političke aktere i afirmirala se kao iznimno utjecajan akter. Ovom radu cilj je istražiti odnos između znanosti i politike, točnije između demokratskih i tehnokratskih aktera u politikama ublažavanja klimatskih promjena. Istraživanja odnosa demokratskih i tehnokratskih aktera u ublažavanju klimatskih promjena još su u začecima. Stoga rad želi odgovoriti na deskriptivno istraživačko pitanje: Imaju li tehnokratski akteri veću ulogu u politikama ublažavanja klimatskih promjena od demokratskih aktera? U traženju odgovora provela se studija slučaja na tri razine – međunarodnoj, na razini nadnacionalne organizacije i na razini nacionalne države. Kroz analizu međusobnih odnosa struktura i akteru u Međunarodnom panelu o klimatskim promjenama, Europskoj uniji i Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, daje se odgovor na pitanje utjecaja tehnokratskih aktera.

Abstract (english)

Climate change and the policies of climate change mitigation hold their place among the key issues of today. Due to the increasingly visible consequences of climate change, public interest in mitigation strategies is growing. From the very beginning of the fight against climate change, the scientific community has taken its place right alongside political actors and has established itself as an extremely influential player. The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between science and politics, specifically between democratic and technocratic actors in climate change mitigation policies. Research on the relationship between democratic and technocratic actors in climate change mitigation is still in its infancy. Therefore, the paper seeks to answer a descriptive research question: Do technocratic actors have a greater role in climate change mitigation policies than democratic actors? In search of an answer, a case study was conducted at three levels – international, at the supranational organization level, and at the nation state level. Through the analysis of the interrelationships between structures and actors in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the European Union, and the United States, a tentative answer is formulated regarding the influence of technocratic actors.
