“…The respective national governments have not supported the BC–CA relationship; governance structures and relations are based on public and private actors performing locally since the first electricity connections were installed in the region (Ganster & Collins, ). Transregional energy relations include not only market actors related through transnational networks but a series of governmental institutions, regulations, and public–private agreements, which affect regional behavior and are located in specific spaces (López‐Vallejo, ; Spaargaren et al, ).…”

“…Transregional governance architectures can help “internalize” externalities in political terms, as has been the case in regional climate markets in North America, where establishing cross‐border normative frameworks through TGAs has helped energy mixes transit toward sustainability by addressing climate change and air pollution (López‐Vallejo, ; Rabe, ). A common externality in Tijuana–San Diego and Mexicali–Calexico is the presence of prominent levels of air pollution since the 1990s, which undermines transregional competitiveness (Sweedler et al, ).…”

“…Our second contribution is the rescaling of governance architectures to transregional jurisdictions. Traditional understanding of TGAs respects the limits of formal jurisdictions and vertical flows of information and relations (Blatter, ; Hooghe & Marks, ), but governance architectures become dynamic and are supported by flexible institutions that bear policy change in different orders of government and at different jurisdictions of governance (López‐Vallejo, ; Smith, ).…”

The integration of transboundary electricity markets is generally measured in terms of trade relations. We argue that to consolidate market integration it is necessary to build a transregional governance architecture where electricity exchanges are facilitated in competitive border cities with functional connecting infrastructure. This article focuses on the Mexican side of the Baja California–California border region, with Tijuana and Mexicali as cornerstone border cities. In building a governance architecture for Mexico, transboundary regulations and institutions are fundamental to support integration, as is the implementation of a comprehensive sustainability approach to drive competitiveness and address socioenvironmental externalities. An analysis of key regulations, infrastructure, economic and environmental sustainability, and social indicators was carried out to identify transregional governance architecture feasibility in the region. Results show that some aspects of such an architecture are already operating, but they seem to advance in different directions and at different paces on each side of the border. Meanwhile, binational coordination is still lacking at the various levels of government and layers of governance.

“…Esta agencia mixta de los gobiernos lleva a la provisión híbrida de bienes públicos. Por ejemplo, el cuidado al medio ambiente casi siempre cae en esta hibridación, pues los problemas que causan su degradación son privados en origen (siempre hay un responsable), pero públicos en sus impactos 13 . En otras palabras, «los bienes públicos son los bienes para el público» 14 y sus orígenes e impactos pueden provenir de cualquiera de los agentes de la gobernanza.…”

Las secciones anteriores muestran algunas ideas fundamentales: 1) la gobernanza como marco analítico no ha encontrado consenso; 2) dependiendo de cómo se defina la gobernanza, las relaciones entre actores pueden ser jerárquicas o heterárquicas; 3) el pertenecer a esquemas jerárquicos o heterárquicos determina la relación entre agencia y estructura y, por tanto, la localización de la responsabilidad sobre lo público y de la autoridad, y 4) hay innumerables críticas al concepto y a su aplicabilidad para proveer bienes públicos.…”

Political economy approaches across the social sciences provide powerful explanations for important dynamics within the global response to climate change. This article discusses in particular how they provide explanations of the social origins of greenhouse gas emissions, the dominant policy and governance responses to climate change, recurrent political conflicts over these responses, and the patterns of bargaining between states, businesses, and other actors. Underlying these dynamics are a set of contradictions or tensions between the character of capitalism as a social system and the demands of decarbonizing the global economy, specifically: between the imperative for growth that constrains and shapes responses; concerning the power of large transnational businesses and other incumbent interests to block responses; and over the embeddedness of carbon emissions in daily life. The article explores the implications of these contradictions as well as some of the important theoretical debates about the limits of political economy approaches. This article is categorized under: Policy and Governance > Multilevel and Transnational Climate Change Governance Climate Economics > Economics and Climate Change
