日本語
本論文は(非)政治化理論を拡張し、多中心ガバナンスにおける権力動態を分析する枠組みを提示。技術主義、多元主義、権力と権威、「火災警報」と政治的制裁の次元に焦点を当てる。英国バーミンガムの事例を通じて、政治化と脱政治化の波が権力を再分配し、地域の気候変動緩和とネットゼロ実現に具体的影響を与えることを示す。ネットゼロ達成には実質的な多中心性を強化する戦略が必要と結論付ける。
English
This paper extends (de)politicisation theory to analyze power dynamics in polycentric governance, developing a framework focusing on technocracy, pluralism, power and authority, and fire alarms. Using a case study of Birmingham, UK, it shows how waves of politicisation and depoliticisation redistribute power with implications for local climate mitigation and net zero delivery. The conclusion emphasizes the need for deliberate strategies to strengthen substantive polycentricity in UK domestic climate governance.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の自治体でも地域気候政策の実施において多中心ガバナンスの課題は共通。本論文の枠組みは、都道府県や市町村レベルでの権力配分と政策実効性の分析に応用可能であり、日本のネットゼロ政策運営に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to global understanding of power asymmetries in polycentric climate governance, relevant for countries implementing net zero at local levels. It offers a framework to assess whether polycentric systems are merely formal or substantive, which is crucial for effective climate action under international frameworks like the Paris Agreement.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Governance scholars can leverage the (de)politicisation framework to analyze power dynamics in climate governance across different contexts.
🏢実務担当者:Local government officials gain insights into designing polycentric structures with real authority and resources for net zero delivery.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers should consider deliberate strategies to empower local actors and ensure substantive polycentricity in climate governance.
📄 Abstract(原文)
This article extends (de)politicisation theory to investigate power dynamics in polycentric governance. It develops an original analytical framework to empirically investigate how governmental, societal and discursive (de)politicisation processes emerge within and across decision-making centres. The framework focuses on dimensions of technocracy, pluralism, power and authority, and ‘fire alarms’ and political sanctions associated with issue salience. It restores analytical focus on power asymmetries, and links these asymmetries to the conditions under which polycentric governance becomes either merely formal (many centres) or substantive (centres with authority, resources, visibility, and horizontal linkages). Using a longitudinal case study of climate governance in Birmingham (United Kingdom), we illustrate how waves of politicisation and depoliticisation operate to (re)distribute power with tangible implications for local climate change mitigation and net zero agendas, and pathways for delivery. We conclude that delivering ‘net zero’ implies the need for deliberate strategies to strengthen substantive polycentricity in UK domestic climate policy and governance.
