Own trade-off and synergy beliefs, not others’, drive public acceptance of energy technologies
The decarbonization of energy systems can create both synergies and trade-offs with societal goals such as biodiversity conservation and landscape protection. Although existing research has focused on objective and physical trade-offs, the politics around energy technologies like Alpine photovoltaics (PVs), wind energy, and nuclear energy are not least shaped by how trade-offs are perceived by the people (first-order beliefs about trade-offs), in…
Hijacking or helping?—How political actors use the Covid-19 pandemic in the climate discourse to advocate their policy beliefs and preferences
Many of today’s challenges, such as climate change, war, or health crises, are highly interlinked and intertwined. Actors in the public discourse sometimes use the term “polycrisis” to describe this “causal entanglement of crises”. This article investigates whether this entanglement is visible in the media discourse and whether political actors strategically (mis-)use simultaneous and overlapping crises to influence policymaking in favor of their…
Policy sequencing can increase public support for ambitious climate policy
Public support for ambitious climate policies and carbon prices that have direct costs for voters may depend on policy sequencing. Policy sequencing theory suggests that the strategic ordering of policies into sequences that initially create benefits can subsequently increase support for higher carbon prices. However, systematic quantitative evidence about the effects of sequencing on public support is lacking. We provide novel theoretical and em…
Design paths of federal intergovernmental cooperation
Actors rarely approach institutional design choices with a blank slate but are influenced by design choices made at earlier stages. How does institutional design evolve over time and are there specific paths to deepening cooperation? We investigate the institutional design paths of subnational cooperation that are chosen to address increasingly complex and interconnected policy problems. We theorize that besides the substantive problem, earlier c…
