Resumo

This paper focuses on the analysis of the multilateral regime of climate change from the perspective of the regimental complex. It examines the role of the BASIC countries in the signing of the new climate agreement in Paris and its relationship with traditional powers like the United States and the European Union. The role of the BASIC countries has been crucial to close a new deal, and in exchange for that power, the group has accepted two conditions: a bottom-up agreement and nationally determined contributions as a vehicle for climate action. Similarly, the diffusion of power in the international system means that although the triangle formed by the BASIC-EU-US has been critical to achieving a new climate agreement, other actors also played an important role in the negotiation process of COP 21.

Este trabajo se concentra en el análisis del régimen climático multilateral del cambio climático desde la perspectiva del complejo regimental. Se estudia el rol del grupo BASIC en el contexto de la suscripción del nuevo acuerdo climático en París y su relación con potencias tradicionales como Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea. El rol del BASIC ha sido fundamental para cerrar un nuevo acuerdo, y a cambio de ese poder, el grupo ha aceptado dos condiciones: un acuerdo “bottom-up” y las contribuciones nacionalmente determinadas como vehículo de la acción climática. De igual modo, la difusión del poder en el Sistema Internacional conlleva que a pesar de que el triángulo formado por el BASIC-UE-EEUU haya sido determinante para lograr un nuevo acuerdo climático, otros actores también ocuparon un rol relevante en el proceso de negociación de la COP 21.
