From a cultural to a distributive issue: Public climate action as a new field for comparative political economy
本文综述了比较政治经济学关于气候变化的最新文献，强调将气候变化纳入该领域的重要性，并提出将气候政治理解为气候变化输家、公共气候行动输家和赢家之间的三方冲突，同时呼吁研究范围从减缓扩展到适应。
Abstract This article reviews recent insights from the blooming Comparative Political Economy (CPE) literature on climate change with the aim to demonstrate the importance of integrating climate change into the field of CPE and to highlight the contributions of CPE to our understanding of the social and political obstacles to effective climate policies. In addition, we advance two key points to bring the CPE literature forward. To tighten the dialogue between the “electoral politics” and “interest group politics” approaches, we propose understanding climate politics as a triadic conflict between losers of climate change, losers of public climate action (PCA), and winners of PCA. Second, we argue that the scope of CPE studies needs expansion. While existing CPE literature predominantly focuses on climate change mitigation, it is essential to consider climate change adaptation due to its significant distributive implications at the macro‐ and micro‐levels of societies.
