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.

Fur die Studie zur Baden-Wurttembergischen Landtagswahl 2000 wurden

A growing majority of humanity lives in sprawling, interconnected
urban regions. Diversified metropolitan geographies have replaced
the centuries-old divide between urban and rural areas, and
transformed the local sources of electoral politics. The resulting
patterns of electoral support and participation have shifted axes
of partisan competition to the right. This volume undertakes the
first international comparative analysis of metropolitan political
behaviour. The results support a powerful new thesis to explain
many recent shifts in political behaviour: the metropolitanisation
of politics.
