“…Los retos que plantea la adaptación al cambio climático requieren de un abordaje institucional multi-sectorial y multinivel (Vignola et al, 2009). La adaptación al cambio climático es un tema vinculado con el desarrollo; de ahí que hayan surgido una serie de arreglos institucionales formales cuya finalidad es brindar respuestas de carácter multidimensional, esto es, de forma multinivel y multisectorial, a los retos que presenta la adaptación (Chaudhury et al, 2016;Sanchez & Roberts, 2013). Por lo tanto, analizar y comprender las dimensiones institucionales de la adaptación es fundamental en el proceso de ajuste al cambio climático que se necesita para gestionar y procurar reducir la incertidumbre (Cuevas, 2018).…”

“…Aunque no existe una fórmula que defina el ideal de institución para enfrentar los retos del cambio climático, si la dimensión institucional no es atendida, frecuentemente se desperdician recursos (Bolman & Deal, 2013). En consecuencia, brindarles una mayor atención a las instituciones resulta de fundamental importancia para una efectiva implementación de acciones de adaptación (Chaudhury et al, 2016).…”

“…En la medida en que los países transitan de la formulación de políticas públicas, a la implementación surgen novedosas estructuras de gobernanza (Chaudhury et al, 2016). Dichas estructuras reconocen que los retos del cambio climático superan la capacidad y la legitimidad de las organizaciones individuales y emplean un abordaje multisectorial y multinivel (Girard et.…”

“…Implementation of climate change policy has been rather slow in Nepal because of its formal and rigid bureaucratic process that doesn't prioritize adaptation activities (Chaudhury et al, 2016 To understand some of this gap, this paper utilized field-based methods and studied variables responsible for altering traditions and living conditions in Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA), Nepal. The ACA is the largest protected area of Nepal covering 7629 km 2 from 1000 to 8091 m in altitude in five of the 75 districts of Nepal and includes 57 village development committees with rich biological and cultural diversity (NTNC, 2009).…”

“…Apart from these arguments, the literature suggests there are underlying interests and priorities of actors that shape the short-term nature of LAPAs (Funder, Mweemba and Nyambe, 2018;Chaudhury et al, 2016). During the process of designing LAPAs, actors interact with each other to pursue individual or collective interests creating dynamic power games, where certain interests are heard, and others are neglected (Dewulf et al, 2011).…”

Power interplay between actors in climate change adaptation policy-making in South Asia

To address the impacts of climate change, countries in South Asia are increasingly making efforts to design climate change adaptation (CCA) policies. Such policies are prepared in a complex power-loaded environment, where different policy actors struggle with one another to meet their personal or collective interests. Current CCA policy research highlights the importance of power in policy-making, but few studies have looked into this systematically.This dissertation therefore aims to study the role of power in CCA policy-making in South Asia and to recommend ways to deal with the negative effects of power.The research adopts an abductive research design, using qualitative case studies in Nepal, India and Bangladesh. Case studies at local, national and transboundary level are conducted to study how actors' power interplay influences CCA policy-making processes and policies.This dissertation proposes a power interplay framework that describes interactions between policy actors and how actors deploy material and ideational resources to influence one another.It presents evidence of how policy actors use these resources at local and regional level to exclude local policy actors and push for short-termism in local adaptation plans and in the planning process for the transboundary Brahmaputra River basin. It shows that multiple climate policy paradigms shape the way in which adaptation is framed and approached by policy actors and that these paradigms have an important influence on how power interplay evolves.To reduce the negative effects of power -for example, the exclusion of actors -I distilled four power-sensitive design principles (PDPs) from other social science disciplines for application in the CCA context. The results of this dissertation offer theoretical contributions to the study of CCA policy-making in South Asia, and concrete and practically relevant PDPs are proposed to improve long-term CCA planning.
