Dear GEP Colleagues, I plan to submit a panel proposal on democracy and the environment for ISA 2021. If you are interested in delivering a paper or serving as a discussant, kindly send me a brief description of what you have in mind by Monday at 9am PST.
I will write a panel synopsis once I get a clearer sense of the range of topics from potential panelists. My own contribution will focus on women's participation in local sustainable transportation decisions, situating this in the context of multi-level climate governance. (Spoiler alert: It turns out that not only do women bike less than men in most countries, citing safety concerns; my colleagues and I have found that in the LA suburbs, women are also less likely to voice these concerns through local politics. This is contrary to the well-documented disappearance of a gender gap in citizen participation in national-level US politics.) Others may wish to examine topics such as democratic innovations or deficits in international environmental institutions; questions of interest aggregation across levels of governance; the evolution of green parties; challenges of institution-building for the environment amid democratic transitions; community participation in REDD+ initiatives; theoretical explorations of the relation between democracy and consumption; or other themes.
