| Title | TEMPTED BY THE UNREACHABLE - TWO-LEVEL MODEL OF US BEHAVIOR IN THE KYOTO PROCESS - |
| Summary | This thesis analyses the United States’ behaviour during the international and domestic political processes that lead to the creation of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 and eventually to its failure in the US in 2001. It presents an answer to the puzzle why a seemingly unratifiable agreement was signed by the Clinton administration. Methodologically, the analysis relies on a rational actor-based two level model that explains variance in policy outcomes through a detailed monitoring of both domestic and international socio-economic and political actors and their interaction. |
