The Institutionalization of a Cleavage: How Differential Treatment Affects State Behavior in the Climate Negotiations

Abstract: Differential treatment is a key norm in multilateral environmental agreements. Its main objective is to increase compliance and reduce the free-rider problem by apportioning the costs and benefits of implementation more equitably across the parties in an agreement. The question of how to differentiate those burdens is inextricably linked to national interests, and while in some instances differential treatment is well designed and facilitates cooperation, in other cases a rigid divide—or cleavage—leads to a st… Show more

“…Existing scholarship on changing norms of differential treatment as a global ordering principle remains scarce and is often confined to legal perspectives (Ukpe and Khorana 2021;Cullet 2016;Rajamani 2006). When changes in systems of differential treatment have been examined, studies tend to remain issue-area-specific with a primary focus on the climate, or environmental and trade regimes (Pauwelyn 2013;Lamp 2017;Farias and Roger 2023;Castro and Kammerer 2021;Weinhardt and Schöfer 2022;Dingwerth 2023). What does our comparative perspective that comprised climate, trade, and global health financing add to existing scholarship?…”

“…Scholars in international relations (IR) have explored the politics surrounding these provisions too, focusing especially on a few particularly prominent cases. In global environmental politics, for example, the principle of CBDR-RC has been a major focus of inquiry, especially within qualitative studies of the climate and ozone regimes (Biermann 1997;Castro and Kammerer 2021;Ella 2017;McGee and Steffek 2016;Prys-Hansen and Franz 2015;Thompson 2020). But, in IR, relatively few have taken a quantitative approach that looks across regimes to understand these provisions.…”

“…There are, today, many qualitative studies of differentiation within individual regimes. The literature on CBDR-RC is vast, and many have explored differentiation in specific domains, such as in the ozone and climate regimes (Biermann 1997;Castro and Kammerer 2021;Pauw et al 2014;Pauwelyn 2013;Thompson 2020). But relatively less work looks at these arrangements from a quantitative perspective, and key hypotheses have gone unexplored as a result.…”
