Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: International Political Science Review Description: 42(1), Jan, 2021: p.95-113.Subject(s): United Nations framework convention on climate change, Domestic politics, Coalitions, International negotiations, Text analysis, Two-level game In: International Political Science ReviewSummary: Coalitions play a central role in the international negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. By getting together, countries join resources in defending their interests and positions. But building coalitions may come at a cost. Coalition positions are a result of compromise between their members, and thus the increase in bargaining power may come at a price if the preferences of their members are heterogeneous. Relying on automatic text analysis of written position papers submitted to the negotiations, I analyze the extent to which coalitions represent the preferences of their members and discuss whether this contributes to disproportionate policy responses at the international level. I focus on a recently formed coalition: the Like-Minded Developing Countries, a large and heterogeneous group that brings together emerging, oil-dependent and poor developing countries. – Reproduced
