PhD post at Lund University on fragmentation in climate change governance

February 17, 2014 in News by Oscar Widerberg

An exciting opportunity has come up at Lund University in Sweden to work on institutional complexity and fragmentation in climate change. They are looking for someone to pursue a PhD in political science on climate change and international relations. Here’s a summary from the ad: “The aim of the project is to analyze the increasing institutional complexity of global climate governance. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its Kyoto Protocol do not operate in an institutional vacuum. They interact with a complex environment of many other institutions, both public and private, that operate at different scales and across different sectors and policy fields. This institutional complexity matters: it has major consequences for key governance aspects like effectiveness, legitimacy and participation.”.

Main point of contact is Fariborz Zelli who is also CONNECT project collaborating scholar. The position was announced a while ago and last date for application is on the 3rd of March.
