A large literature in political science is interested in variations of democracy. This literature often debates what type of democracy is most effective to provide public goods such as environmental protection. For example, some people argue that representative democracy (e.g. based on parliaments) is more effective than participatory democracy (e.g. based on referenda), and vice versa. Discuss which type of democracy would be most effective to address a complex environmental challenge such as climate change. Then provide empirical evidence in support of your argument. 2. It is usually assumed that, like other liberal left-wing parties, green parties are interested in preserving the environment due to postmaterialist values centered on pro-globalization, integrationist ideologies. However, some say that green parties are often at odds with globalization and integration, as they would rather focus on regionalist and sometimes nationalist issues. Discuss your position on this debate and provide empirical evidence in support of your argument. 3. The Environmental Kutznets Curve (EKC) theory postulates an inverted U-shaped relationship between pollution and income. However, it is unclear if this relationship is explained by the progress of economic development of a society, or if it is explained by the democratic institutions that emerge as a society develops. Discuss your position on this debate and provide empirical evidence in support of your argument. 4. The Environmental Kutznets Curve (EKC) theory implies that when individuals reach a certain threshold of income, they will be more prone to care about environmental issues. This suggests that economic inequality may be conducive to more environmental degradation. However, some scholars argue that the demand for environmental protection does not increase with the poorer people in the society becoming richer, but with the tendency of people with higher income having higher preference for environmental quality. Discuss your position on this debate and provide empirical evidence in support of your argument.
