Summary: The thesis examines and re-orders the literature on international regimes, in order to identify the major debates that take place within it. This analysis allows one to conclude that the most important theoretical debate is the one that opposes the approximation neoinstitucinalista (estatocéntrica and rationalist) with the liberal approach (focusing on the relationship estado-sociedad). He then reviewed the negotiations which led to the creation of the international regime to combat climate change. It identifies the major phases of the process, the key players, their negotiating positions, the relationship between them and the main results of the negotiation. This case study allows to analyze which of the two approaches above theoretical afford any more faithful account of developments in international policy against climate change, leading to the conclusion that liberalism, but in minority literature, provides more analytical clarity.
