How integrating cognitive theories and international relations scholarship can yield valuable insights into the effectiveness of climate negotiations.

Mindmade Politics takes a novel, interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complex and contentious dynamics of global climate politics. Manjana Milkoreit argues that integrating cognitive theories and international relations scholarship can yield valuable insights into multilateral cooperation (or the lack of it) on climate change and the process of negotiating climate agreements.

Milkoreit argues that cognition is at the root of all political behavior and decision making. Some of the most important variables of international relations scholarship--the motivations of political actors--are essentially cognitive variables. Drawing on interviews with participants in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Milkoreit examines the thoughts, beliefs, and emotions of individuals and groups, focusing on the mental mechanisms connecting decision-relevant factors and observed political behavior.

Milkoreit offers a brief introduction to international relations theory and key insights regarding the politics of climate change; outlines the basic cognitive theories and concepts that she applies in her analysis, discussing the cognitive challenges of climate change; and describes the integrated methodological approach she used for her cognitive-political analysis. She presents four cognitive-affective lessons for global change politics, including the "cognitive triangle" of three major concerns of climate negotiators--threat, identity, and justice--and she identifies six major belief systems driving negotiators. Finally, she offers guidance for climate governance based on her findings. Utilizing recent advances in cognitive science, Milkoreit builds a theoretical bridge between two major disciplines that will benefit both scholars and practitioners.

如何將認知理論和國際關係學術整合,以獲得對氣候談判效果的有價值洞察。《心智政治》採用一種新穎的跨學科方法來理解全球氣候政治的複雜和爭議性動態。曼雅娜·米爾科瑞特(Manjana Milkoreit)認為,將認知理論和國際關係學術整合起來,可以對氣候變化的多邊合作(或缺乏合作)以及談判氣候協議的過程提供有價值的洞察。

米爾科瑞特認為,認知是所有政治行為和決策的根源。國際關係學術中最重要的變數之一,即政治行為者的動機,本質上是認知變數。米爾科瑞特通過對聯合國氣候變化框架公約(UNFCCC)參與者的訪談,研究了個人和群體的思想、信念和情感,重點關注連接決策相關因素和觀察到的政治行為的心理機制。

米爾科瑞特提供了國際關係理論和氣候變化政治的基本介紹和關鍵洞察;概述了她在分析中應用的基本認知理論和概念,討論了氣候變化的認知挑戰;並描述了她用於認知政治分析的整合方法論。她提出了全球變革政治的四個認知-情感教訓,包括氣候談判者的三個主要關切(威脅、身份和正義)的“認知三角形”,並確定了六個主要信念體系驅動談判者。最後,她根據研究結果提供了氣候治理的指導。米爾科瑞特利用認知科學的最新進展,建立了兩個主要學科之間的理論橋樑,將使學者和從業人員受益。
