In December 2015, the COP 21 adopted the Paris Agreement, which aims to address the global problem of climate change. The global climate change regime has virtually oscillated between the top-down multilaterally decided formulaic arrangements and the bottom-up nationally-determined approach. The Agreement partially prevailed over the longstanding preference for bottom-up deals and was initially ratified by the "Big Four" of world's emitters: the United States, the European Union, China and India. The purpose of this thesis was therefore twofold: (1) to determine the extent to which the Paris Agreement has adopted elements that were top-down in nature, and (2) conclude whether the regime's strengthening can be explained based on the two posed hypotheses. The former was addressed by proposing a coding scheme that applied a set of indicators obtained through academic literature review. The latter was guided by the two-level game theory authored by Robert D. Putnam. The first hypothesis anticipated an overlap of negotiation positions of the largest emitters concerning the top-down elements eventually adopted in the Paris Agreement. The second hypothesis assumed these negotiation positions were compatible with the respective domestic preferences related to climate policies and cooperation. Identified Level I...
