摘要

关于制度类型对国家环境绩效影响的现有结果是不确定的。这可能源于未能考虑到经济不平等——这是一个很大程度上被忽视的因素。我们认为,更加平等的民主社会很可能在处理环境问题方面取得更大进展。然而,不平等破坏了本应促进环境保护的民主政治的进程和特征。相比之下,不平等在专制国家不太可能有多重要。利用1970年后时期的碳排放表现数据,我们发现了强有力的证据,证明不平等会缓和民主的影响。我们的研究增加了关于政权类型和环境政治的争论。

Carbon Emission Performance and Regime Type: The Role of Inequality
Abstract Existing results about the impact of regime type on states’ environmental performance are inconclusive. This could stem from failure to allow for economic inequality—a largely overlooked factor. More equal democratic societies, we contend, are likely to make greater progress in dealing with environmental problems. However, inequality undermines those processes and characteristics of democratic polities that are supposed to further environmental protection. In contrast, inequality is unlikely to be of much importance in authoritarian states. Using data on carbon emission performance for the post-1970 period, we find strong and robust evidence that inequality moderates the influence of democracy. Our research adds to the debate about regime type and environmental politics.

期刊介绍: Global Environmental Politics examines the relationship between global political forces and environmental change, with particular attention given to the implications of local-global interactions for environmental management as well as the implications of environmental change for world politics. Each issue is divided into research articles and a shorter forum articles focusing on issues such as the role of states, multilateral institutions and agreements, trade, international finance, corporations, science and technology, and grassroots movements.
