APSA panel? climate adaptation &/or env'l treaties

[Ronald Mitchell]

Colleagues,

 

I am trying to assemble a panel for APSA in Sept 2024 in Philadelphia (details here).

 

Two topics possible:

• climate change OR
• environmental treaty research

If you are interested and can send along an abstract, title, name, affiliation, other contact information, that would be great. Junior scholars particularly welcome.

 

Also, if anyone would want to be a discussant or chair, please me in touch.

 

Best and hope to hear from some of you,

Ron

Thank you, Professor Ronald, for the email and the information. I have an article on the global energy transition that I shared with the group and colleagues here a few days ago and another one on the policy analysis of the IPCC 6 report. Could you please tell me which article is appropriate for your panel?

All the best,
Assi. Prof. Dr Majid. Institute of International Relations, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Lublin, Poland.

Hi Ron,

I have a paper my junior scholar co-authors and I are very proud of:

Lopez, Ragab and I are at American University (they are PhD students) and Le Bao is an assistant professor of Political Science at the University of Hong Kong.

Let me know if you can include us.  Will the panel be related to climate and climate policy?  If not, perhaps we can try to form a separate panel on that set of issues.  If you prefer, I would be glad to be a chair or discussant.  Just let me know within a couple of days please if we can present or you want me in another capacity.

Many thanks and regards,

Todd

The Inter-temporal Trade-off, the “Electoral Connection” in Climate Policy and National Renewable Energy Mixes 

 

 

By Todd A. Eisenstadt, Le Bao, Jennifer Lopez and Cindy Ragab 

 

Abstract: Despite the multitude of international and national pledges of Net Zero Emissions by 2050, few large national economies are likely to meet them, and analysts are hard-pressed to explain how and whether nations might decarbonize. This article shows, for the first time, the existence of an “electoral connection” and political business cycles relating to climate policy; that national executives in their last terms in office design more ambitious decarbonization policies for the longer term. We argue that last-term executives can focus less on immediate interest group and constituency demands needed for re-election and more on their own ethics and legacies. Our statistical evidence is robsut robust when we test the effects of the executive’s last term on renewable energy generation and capacity across 160 national economies. We conclude by advocating for term limits, or at least for insulating climate policy-making executives from the short-term imperatives of workaday interest group pressures.

Apologies for repost – but to clarify the two possible topics I *intended*

• climate change adaptation (especially, but not exclusively, in small island developing states) OR
• environmental treaty research

All, We have a panel proposed for APSA in Sept in Philadelphia that would benefit by having one more paper on climate adaptation. If you have a paper, please send me the following asap and most likely I can add you to the panel. But I must receive it in the next couple of days.  Thanks, Ron

 

Please include ALL of the following:

• Name
• Institutional affiliation

Also, see the instructions in the next email … especially
