Abstract

Abstract Does using knowledge politically to explain or justify predetermined policy positions make a difference? Most theory suggests no. This article traces how developing country negotiators used knowledge to further their interests in loss and damage (L&D) negotiations from 2003 to 2013. The analysis shows an institutional effect, whereby knowledge was used to establish L&D as a theme under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. At the same time, an indirect effect emerges at the individual level as knowledge provides actors with a sense of clarity and legitimacy that strengthens their resolve in defending political positions, leaving surprising traces during moments of bargaining. These insights invite critical reflections on the normative dimensions of political knowledge use.
发展中国家谈判代表在损失和损害谈判中使用政治知识的影响
用知识政治地解释或证明预先确定的政策立场会有不同吗?大多数理论认为不是。本文追溯了从2003年到2013年,发展中国家谈判代表如何利用知识在损益谈判(L&D)中促进其利益。分析显示了一种制度效应,即利用知识将L&D确立为《联合国气候变化框架公约》的一个主题。与此同时,在个人层面上出现了一种间接影响,因为知识为行动者提供了一种清晰感和合法性,增强了他们捍卫政治立场的决心,在讨价还价的时刻留下了令人惊讶的痕迹。这些见解引发了对政治知识使用的规范维度的批判性反思。
