Sunburned? Conflict prevalence in 686 United States solar projects
Rapid growth in large-scale solar has intensified attention to land-use conflict, yet researchers lack systematic estimates of attention and conflict prevalence across the U.S. This study examines conflict-attention prevalence among large-scale solar projects and the institutional and demographic factors associated with intensity. We compiled a dataset of 686 solar projects that began operating between January 2022 and November 2023 and construct…
Breaking down barriers to litigation and judicial advocacy research
Balancing Participation and Speed
Siting and permitting for renewable projects vary in process and authority structures. Such variation can create coordination challenges and inconsistent public participation processes. We develop a Governance Trade‐Off Matrix to classify permitting processes by (1) authority structure (polycentric vs. monocentric) and (2) procedural extensiveness (minimal vs. extensive). The matrix shows when jurisdictional dispersion enables timely implementati…
Who's Responsible for Environmental Protection? An Examination of U.S. Federal District Court Cases
This research analyzes how organizations and agencies use the federal judiciary to prevent environmental degradation and address the climate crisis. Despite the central role of law in public administration, few studies have incorporated litigation and judicial advocacy to develop a more holistic picture of intersectoral relations and the provision of public services such as environmental protection. Using a co-production lens and drawing on Young…
Strike While the Iron is Hot
Despite substantial progress on understanding the influence of nonprofits in the policy process, the role of nonprofits in local agenda setting remains under-examined. Policy for land conservation is a key plank in climate change mitigation strategies making the role of land trusts in agenda setting for land conservation votes an important topic. Prior studies demonstrate that temperature anomalies increase the likelihood that climate change poli…
The Space Between
Prior research on policy conflicts indicates a tendency among policy actors to misperceive the influence of actors engaged in policy debates based on the degree of distance between their relative policy positions. This research develops a measure for assessing the degree and direction of the misperception effect. This measure is then utilized as a dependent variable to assess the relationship between theoretically relevant factors and the degree …
Enhancing Precision and Clarity in the Study of Policy Narratives
The study of policy narratives is challenged by inconsistencies and a need for more precise definitions and measurements. The goals of this article are to build precision and clarity in the study of policy narratives by developing a network-based approach-the ego-alter dyad-for coding characters and their interactions around a policy issue and then to illustrate this approach in the analysis of air and climate issues in Delhi, India. The empirica…
