Abstract

ABSTRACT The European Union (EU) has positioned itself as a global climate leader. The EU’s engagement with external climate governance is most visible in the six post-Soviet states of Eastern Europe. This article asks what drives the EU’s engagement with climate governance in the region. To answer this question, I distinguish between three logics of external climate action: self-interest, functional, and civilizing. By analyzing climate cooperation between the EU and the six states, I demonstrate that a combination of all three logics explains the EU’s engagement in external climate governance, but that the functional logic is slightly more prominent than the other two.

为什么是气候？后苏联时代东欧邻国欧盟气候治理的驱动因素

摘要欧盟将自己定位为全球气候领导者。欧盟参与外部气候治理的情况在东欧六个后苏联国家最为明显。这篇文章询问是什么推动了欧盟参与该地区的气候治理。为了回答这个问题，我区分了外部气候行动的三种逻辑：利己主义、功能性和文明化。通过分析欧盟与六国之间的气候合作，我证明了这三种逻辑的结合解释了欧盟参与外部气候治理，但功能逻辑比其他两种略为突出。
