Earlier this year, the Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis published a special issue 'Climate Action through Policy Expansion and/or Dismantling: Country-Comparative Insights' which arose out of a workshop DeepDCarb hosted in Mannheim in 2022. In the video below, Simon Schaub - the lead guest editor - shares the main findings of the issue. The current issue of WIREs Climate Change contains our systematic review titled 'Politicians and climate change: A systematic review of the literature'. Covering 141 articles, we find a growing research area that is primarily focused on a small number of democracies in the Global North. Substantively, we analyse politicians' motivations, the incentives and barriers they face, and the strategies they employ to block/enable climate action. A briefing note outlining some key themes from the review is also available here.
'Climate Action through Policy Expansion and/or Dismantling: Country-Comparative Insights' is a new special issue published in the Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis: Research and Practice. It is edited by Simon Schaub, Jale Tosun and Andrew Jordan, with the collection arising from a DeepDCarb workshop held in Mannheim in October 2022.
The articles in this special issue investigate factors that induce politico-administrative actors to adopt climate policies and dismantle anti-climate policies to advance decarbonisation. Together, the contributions show that interactions between politico-administrative actors and publics, organised interests, and international organisations shape climate and anti-climate policy change.CrossRef citations to date
