A propos of nothing, reminder that no 1 rule from democratic backsliding research is: Playing by the rules of anti-democratic forces often fails. Parties and leaders find more success when they reject the toxic frames and offer a distinct (and bold) vision. This travels to fossil extractivism btw.

Full room today! It was great to talk to the climate pol community abt who are we, what we do, what we think the field has learned and myths we can bust. @antvalentim.bsky.social @patrickbayer.bsky.social @dianebolet.bsky.social & I did a little pre-EPSS survey, reach out if you want to look at it!

Venezuela is an important oil producer (~top15 in global ranking), with some of the world's largest proven oil reserves. Supply chocked last year but export to 🇨🇳 was picking up. The current uncertainty will be profitable to other fossil giants (🇷🇺) Unless, just an idea: we take renewables seriously

🚨Global public action (climate!) is most effective when countries do it together yet we're in a period of IO backlash rooted in left-behind places Does it mean all left-behind regions hate IOs the same? @patrickbayer.bsky.social & I have a paper accepted @bjpols.bsky.social abt this🧵 osf.io/rtymv
Climate Policy Costs, Regional Politics and Backlashagainst International Cooperation by Patrick Bayer and Federica Genovese.

This paper investigates the conditions under which subnational concerns shape public assessments of international climate governance. In line with existing literature, we maintain that costly policy adjustments fuel negative views of international cooperation in policy exposed regions. At the same time, we argue that the more resentful relations are with the national center of politics, the more sympathetic these regions areto international institutions and global governance. Based on geographically targeted survey data from theUnited Kingdom, we find that fossil fuel-intensive regions with strong, institutionalized regional politics have more positive assessments of international climate cooperation than structurally similar regions where regional political institutions are less pronounced. The findings show that regional politics characteristics are key for understanding climate policy beliefs among citizens that bear the brunt of adjustments to international climate agreements
