Environmental displacement and political instability: Evidence from Africa
Does environmental displacement provoke political instability? Though migration has long been considered an intermediary in the causal path between environmental change and political upheaval, the relationship remains theoretically underdeveloped and evidence has been limited. This article examines the impact of displacement caused by sudden-onset natural hazards on disruptive antigovernment events including armed conflict, protests and violent r…
Triggers of State-Led Mass Killing
Why do states initiate mass killing campaigns against their civilian populations? What explains the timing of state-led mass killing? Extant research has developed a sophisticated understanding of the general social, political, and economic conditions that elevate a country's risk of state-led mass killing. However, these conditions—which include factors such as regime type and ongoing civil war—are relatively static and cannot explain why violen…
Is Democracy the Answer to Intractable Climate Change
Climate change is the greatest governance challenge humanity has ever faced. Understanding why some governments successfully reduce greenhouse gas emissions and others fail is thus imperative. While regime type is often hypothesized to be a source of variation in greenhouse gas emissions, empirical findings about the effects of democracy and autocracy on climate action are contradictory. This research note reconciles these inconsistencies and ado…
Do Perverse Insurance Incentives Encourage Coastal Vulnerability
Subsidized insurance is often described as a perverse incentive, moral hazard, or maladaptation that perpetuates coastal residencies in vulnerable homes despite increasing safety and economic risks from hurricanes, sea level rise, and other climate change impacts. Insurance is also often described as a positive factor in coastal risk reduction if insurers proactively reward homeowners for upgrades that mitigate losses from hurricanes. The empiric…
