The analysis argues that the US withdrawal from the Kyoto process has led to a shift of strategies, with a greater split between EU on one side and G77/China and USA on the other, with Russia playing an even more pivotal role than before. The analysis emphasises the importance of understanding the influence of domestic policies and pressure groups on national positions and strategies. The study discusses how the current developments in these countries' policy-making can explain the shift of alliances in the climate regime, and what it might mean for the future of international climate collaboration, and conclude on whether or not interests are becoming more polarized.
