Abstract

In the last decades, the discipline of International Relations have been strongly guided by International Political Economy (IPE). This article aims to illustrate the influence that this has had on global governance. Using carbon markets and their influence on global climate governance, the article exemplifies the dominance of the IPE approach in international politics. The article aims to show how climate governance is strongly influenced by a IPE perspective. Through a brief review of carbon markets, the paper aims to show how global climate governance is strongly influenced by an IPE approach. Employing Antonio Gramsci's notion of hegemony, the article aims to contribute to a better understanding of how climate policies follow an economic logic.
