There are considerable differences in environmental performance and outcomes across both democracies and autocracies, but there is little understanding of how levels of democracy and autocracy influence environmental performance. This book examines whether analysing the effects of individual democratic features separately can contribute to a better understanding of cross-national variance in environmental performance. The authors show that levels of social equality in particular, as well as the strength of local and regional democracy, contribute significantly to explaining cross-national variation in environmental performance. On the other hand, a high level of political corruption affects a country’s ability to adopt and implement environmental policies effectively. In exploring the inter-relationship between democratic qualities, political corruption, and environmental performance, this book presents policymakers and political theorists with a clear picture of which aspects of democratic societies are most conducive to producing a better environment.

Dieses Buch liefert neue Erkenntnisse über das Wahlverhalten und die politische Kultur im Freistaat Bayern, indem es die Ergebnisse der Landtagswahl2018 aus verschiedenen Perspektiven analysiert. So ist die prädominante Stellung der CSU durch die deutlichen Gewinne von Bündnis90/Die Grünen und der AfD nicht mehr existent. Der Band profitiert von einer umfassenden Datenbasis im Rahmen eines Lehrforschungsprojektes, an dem drei bayerische Universitäten beteiligt waren.
