Abstract

ABSTRACT In this article I canvass four kinds or ‘modes’ of ungovernance, which I characterise as agnostic, experimental, inoculative, and catastrophic. I then turn to climate change, and the questions of climate governance and climate equity, which, I argue, exemplify each of these four modes in different ways. The fact of climate change might be characterised as the materialisation of ungovernance, insofar as it is the incidental or accidental outcome of an aggregate of rational decisions underpinned by a vast but selective regulatory apparatus. But more poignantly, the international law apparatus that has grown up around the climate problem presumes and embeds uncertainty regarding any resolution.

治理气候
摘要在这篇文章中,我探讨了四种失控模式,我将其描述为不可知论、实验性、预防性和灾难性。然后,我转向气候变化,以及气候治理和气候公平的问题,我认为,这些问题以不同的方式体现了这四种模式中的每一种。气候变化的事实可能被描述为失控的具体化,因为它是由一个庞大但有选择性的监管机构支撑的理性决策的偶然结果。但更令人痛心的是,围绕气候问题发展起来的国际法机构假定并嵌入了任何解决方案的不确定性。

期刊介绍: The objective of Transnational Legal Theory is to publish high-quality theoretical scholarship that addresses transnational dimensions of law and legal dimensions of transnational fields and activity. Central to Transnational Legal Theory''s mandate is publication of work that explores whether and how transnational contexts, forces and ideations affect debates within existing traditions or schools of legal thought. Similarly, the journal aspires to encourage scholars debating general theories about law to consider the relevance of transnational contexts and dimensions for their work. With respect to particular jurisprudence, the journal welcomes not only submissions that involve theoretical explorations of fields commonly constructed as transnational in nature (such as commercial law, maritime law, or cyberlaw) but also explorations of transnational aspects of fields less commonly understood in this way (for example, criminal law, family law, company law, tort law, evidence law, and so on). Submissions of work exploring process-oriented approaches to law as transnational (from transjurisdictional litigation to delocalized arbitration to multi-level governance) are also encouraged. Equally central to Transnational Legal Theory''s mandate is theoretical work that explores fresh (or revived) understandings of international law and comparative law ''beyond the state'' (and the interstate). The journal has a special interest in submissions that explore the interfaces, intersections, and mutual embeddedness of public international law, private international law, and comparative law, notably in terms of whether such inter-relationships are reshaping these sub-disciplines in directions that are, in important respects, transnational in nature.
