Cities Against Democratic Backsliding: Evidence from Europe and Beyond
As nationalist and populist movements gain traction worldwide, democracy faces growing threats. In many cases, large cities have emerged as strongholds of progressive and democratic values, pushing back against authoritarian pressures. This timely book explores the evolving power struggle between cities and central governments, particularly in countries led by populist regimes. It examines key issues such as decentralization, financial autonomy a…
Information Processing and Changes to Local Governments' Practices Amid Intensifying Environmental Hazards
Information processing is a fundamental part of policy making and is all the more critical in modern policy making environments characterized by information abundance. Using Punctuated Equilibrium Theory (PET) as a lens, this study investigates how city governments process and apply externally generated knowledge to address environmental hazards in the era of climate change. Descriptive and regression analyses are run on nationwide survey data to…
Indigenous peoples and renewable energy: Impacts, contestations, and collective action
Although renewable energy (RE) transitions offer pathways to sustainability, their implementation often exacerbates existing injustices, particularly for indigenous communities. This paper examines indigenous peoples' complex and evolving relationship with RE transitions through a systematic review of 87 peer-reviewed articles. It identifies three key thematic areas:(1) the impacts of RE transitions on indigenous communities; (2) indigenous conte…
Do decision-maker diversity, trust, and policy entrepreneurship matter when steering transformative urban climate governance
Under threat from increasingly frequent and intense climate hazards, local communities are seeking to transform into more climate-ready and resilient spaces. To achieve this aim, they must have the capacity to govern challenging transformative processes. Here, the relationship between patterned interactions among people involved in governance and transformative capacity are assessed. These interactions form the networked micro-decision context (N…
Data donation: Using the gift relationship framework to address privacy and environmental issues of energy consumption data collection
Data, particularly consumption data, is an essential and often overlooked aspect of energy transitions. Fine-grained data on the diverse sources of energy in the energy mix, how it is distributed, and patterns of use by individuals and households help smoothen the transition to renewable energy. However, obtaining, utilizing, and storing energy data generates concerns about privacy and climate change. We propose that both the need for high qualit…
Capital endowments: Explaining energy citizenship using Bourdieu's forms of capital
Policy entrepreneurship for transformative governance
Scholarship is growing on societal transitions, describing radical societal change involving multiple sectors and scales, and transformative governance, describing how public, private, and civil society actors use tools of policy to pursue this fundamental change, aiming to build resiliency and sustainability. Much of this literature has a systems‐level focus and does not closely examine how governance participants, working individually or collec…
What is the Future of Survey-Based Data Collection for Local Government Research? Trends, Strategies, and Recommendations
Surveys are an important vehicle for advancing research on urban policy and governance. The introduction of online tools eased survey-based data collection, making it cheaper and easier to obtain data from key informants like local elected officials or public administrators. However, the utility of web-based survey administration may be diminishing. To investigate this dynamic and search for strategies to support survey research in urban studies,…
Governing the urban commons”: DLT, institutions, and citizens in perspective
Borrowing from insights produced in urban planning, media and governance studies thereby leveraging the Ostrom-nian ideas of institutions and polycentricity, this paper examines how to govern commons in the smart city. It offers a reflection upon whether Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) could be a key notion for the commons discourse which centers around stakeholders, self-organization, and a rights-based framework. By decentralizing ledger…
Support for the environment post-transition? Material concerns and policy tradeoffs
Though many individuals are aware of the need to address environmental concerns, fewer are willing to pay for climate action or think the environment should be a priority for government spending. One compelling reason is that they prioritize using scarce resources to address immediate material concerns. This is particularly likely for individuals facing absolute material scarcity or for those who think they are relatively economically worse off, …
Cultural story models in making sense of a desired post-corona world
The corona pandemic has been a disruptive event that calls for individual and collective efforts to make sense of the future. This paper aims to delineate the ways in which people from Greece (N = 41) and Finland (N = 18) draw on cultural story models (narrative schemas for organizing knowledge and experiences) to anticipate and make sense of a post-corona future. Personal anticipations of what their own post-corona future lives and the world sho…
Emerging from the global syndemic crucible: Finding belonging in a post corona future
The covid-19 global syndemic has upended societies worldwide and concomitantly united the world in a shared experience of lockdowns, social distancing, and economic upheaval. In the face of great uncertainty, dystopian realities, and binding government edicts, people's everyday lives, sense of agency, actions, and interactions changed forcibly. Importantly, it has disrupted many practices and routines essential for (re)constituting a sense of bel…
Which Way Forward in Measuring the Quality of Life? A Critical Analysis of Sustainability and Well-Being Indicator Sets
The movement to develop indicators that provide a more nuanced view of quality of life (QoL) continues to gain momentum and support in both scientific and policy-making circles. However, measuring QoL still faces a number of challenges. While a range of indicator sets has been developed, it is unclear whether any of them is able to adequately capture the broad range of conditions it encompasses. In addition, it has yet to be determined whether di…
Managing policy‐making in the local climate governance landscape: The role of network administrative organizations and member cities
Trans‐municipal networks (TMNs) have reshaped the landscape around local government action on global climate policy. Past research has focused on why cities join TMNs and the impact that membership has on local action. This study considers a potential reverse effect: namely, that cities' membership choices position them to influence TMNs' overall priorities. In considering this, we emphasize the role of network administrative organizations (NAOs)…
The impact of stakeholder engagement on local policy decision making
We investigate how grassroots stakeholder engagement in municipal meetings shapes the decision making of local elected officials (LEOs) by examining the choices LEOs in New York State made on how to regulate high-volume hydraulic fracturing (HVHF) or fracking . We analyzed the content of 216 meeting minutes and 18 policy documents for 13 municipalities in New York. Our observations suggest that government responsiveness to local activism is shape…
Policy Expansion in Local Government Environmental Policy Making
Relatively little is known about when, why, and how some jurisdictions “double down” on policy priorities, rapidly adopting multiple measures tackling the same issue. Rapid policy expansion can emerge in fast‐evolving, uncertain, and contested policy arenas in which pressures for policy making are not satisfied, and even may be strengthened, by initial policy innovation. This article analyzes local government policy making on high‐volume hydrauli…
Social Networks and Policy Entrepreneurship: How Relationships Shape Municipal Decision Making about High‐Volume Hydraulic Fracturing
Well‐resourced and well‐connected individuals, or “policy entrepreneurs,” often play an important role in advocating and securing the adoption of policies. There is a striking lack of inquiry into the ways that social networks shape the ability of these actors to achieve their aims, including the ways in which network ties may channel policy conflict. To address these gaps, we analyze data from an original survey and an original database of polic…
Does Social Capital Affect Immigrant Political Participation? Lessons from a Small-N Study of Migrant Political Participation in Rome
Institutions, information exchange, and migrant social networks in Rome
While a considerable body of work examines immigrant networks, inadequate attention has been devoted to understanding how networks regulate the relationship between immigrants and host institutions. A rich immigrant process may reinforce current power structures by providing a convenient buffer between the elite and challengers. Conversely, immigration may challenge the status quo. I employ social network analysis to examine three understudied im…
