La Chine et l’Inde dans les négociations internationales sur le climat : une analyse comparée à partir de facteurs environnementaux, énergétiques et économiques
Membres du jury :
Summary : China and India are two developing countries with the capacity to significantly affect international processes. This includes the process that manages the collective action problem posed by climate change. Given this capacity, this thesis studies the formation of Indian and Chinese positions in international climate negotiations. Three types of national factors (environmental, energy and economic) are considered, in order to determine which ones play the most decisive role in the evolution of these negotiating position, from the creation of UNFCCC in 1992 to the adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015. This study is done using a comparative approach, within a broad International Political Economy analytical framework. It shows that both countries held defensive positions until 2009, after which a divergence can be observed, with China attempting to adopt a form of directional leadership. Using an incompatibility triangle of economic sectors between low carbon intensity, high social productivity gains and massive job creation, the thesis shows that the evolution of positions is coherent with a domination of economic factors, particularly the absorption of surplus labor, in the formation of negotiating positions. These economic factors determine how much environmental and energy factors can affect position formation.
