A global view of eco-social policy support: Insights from six high-emission countries
Non-Technical Summary Societies are failing to meet basic human needs while simultaneously respecting ecological limits. This article examines the political feasibility of three of the most commonly discussed eco-social policies which aim to align social objectives with planetary boundaries. We use large-scale representative survey data from six countries. Support for all policies is higher in three middle-income countries with a higher number of…
Just transitions in global economies? Union and worker understandings of justice in Germany and South Africa compared
This article draws on fieldwork in Germany and South Africa, including interviews with unionists, environmental activists, and policy-makers, to compare experiences and perspectives of workers and communities affected by climate policies and the transition to industrial decarbonisation. There is broad support for a just transition in Germany, with workers and their unions actively promoting climate action – though the notion of ‘just transition’ …
German Trade Unions and Decarbonisation: A Transition to Green Growth, A‐Growth or Degrowth
While the need for a transformation to tackle climate change is no longer contested, competing visions about the future have taken the front seat in political debates. Previous research on stakeholders in the European Parliament and the German Bundestag identified opposing views relating to green growth, degrowth and post‐growth. In relation to trade unions, these have recently been discussed conceptually to some extent, but empirical work on the…
Public support for climate policies and its ideological predictors across countries of the Global North and Global South
Our understanding of public support for climate policies predominantly stems from studies in the Global North and a focus on isolated policy types. Here, we examine how public support for four different climate policy types and the effect of ideological explanatory variables on such support vary among countries of the Global North and Global South. We surveyed representative samples of each three Global Northern countries (Germany, UK, USA) and G…
Climate policy support in the UK: An interaction of worldviews and policy types
Understanding predictors of climate policy support is important for tackling climate change. Previous research demonstrated that policy support is partially driven by cultural worldviews. Yet, treating policies as a homogeneous concept, this literature neglected the existence of different policy types. Making this distinction is important because each type implies a distinct solution to the same problem (i.e., carbon emissions) with varying degre…
Navigating sustainable futures: The role of terminal and instrumental values
Values have been discussed both in relation to the normative character of Ecological Economics and, albeit implicitly, in conceptions of human beings. Nevertheless, a conceptualisation of individually-held values remains underdeveloped. Scholars who do engage on a conceptual level tend to focus on the values of nature in the context of ecosystem services, with less emphasis on: (a) more generally-held values, (b) the psychological mechanisms for …
The effect of intra-workplace pay inequality on employee trust in managers: Assessing a multilevel moderated mediation effect model
High levels of economic inequality are widely viewed as a key challenge facing both advanced industrial and developing economies. Country-level studies have consistently shown a negative link between income inequality and trust in others. This is typically attributed to greater social distance within unequal societies. Do we observe similar relationships within organisations? This is an important question because employee trust is associated with…
