PEACH - Methodology

Abstract

The purpose of this note to make some practical suggestions for carrying out the project Political Economy Analysis of Climate Change Policies – the PEACH project. The central question of the project is who drives/obstructs climate change policies in the rising powers. The study will be carried out in China and India and concentrate on renewable energy, in particular the wind power and solar power sectors. Subsequent studies will address the same questions for other rising powers. Due to budget constraints each study will concentrate mainly on secondary sources but these will be complemented with interviews and key informants.
