"Green subsidies" are often justified on (implicitly) political grounds. Below, I've tried to summarise, explicate, and extend some of these arguments (👇). 1/n
Is it possible to phase out coal and still win an election? Yes! Excited that my paper w @fergusgreen & Mikel González-Eguino on the electoral success of #JustTransition policies in coalmining communities is now available #OpenAccess in @apsrjournal doi.org/10.1017/S00030…
Yesterday at @LSEIRDept I presented on experts’ views of carbon pricing in the Global South, a part of a larger project that some of us (@michaelhlerner @GardMurray and 7 others, most outside the academy) have been involved in for a year. Grateful for the opportunity!
It was an honor and a pleasure to finally meet @haroldpollack in person – thanks again for the hard work you, @paashamahdavi and @anacweeks for your hard work on the Lasswell award committee!

Michael Lerner Receives the 2023 Harold D. Lasswell Award politicalsciencenow.com/michael-lerner…
An article I started working on in my 1st year of gradschool has found a home, conditionally accepted @cps_journal! Will work on a thread a bit later, but thank you very much for everyone who provided so much helpful feedback and suggestions, including the three reviewers!
📢Call for Proposals. 10th edition of the Environmental Politics & Governance (EPG) Conference. Quebec City, June 18-21, 2024. Submit your proposal before Oct 16. ➡️ epg2024.com
New paper alert, with @jonasmeckling, just published at @Gov_Journal (open access onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…) on the interest group politics of climate policy in the U.S. A thread:
A great dissertation in a field of truly outstanding nominees. A humbling experience to read the remarkable work of junior scholars. Every one of the dissertations I read was a fine contribution. The field is in good hands.

Ph. D. ‘21 graduate, @michaelhlerner, was awarded the APSA’s Harold D. Lasswell Award for his dissertation, "Green Catalysts? The Impact of Transnational Advocacy on Environmental Policy Leadership.“ myumi.ch/EPede
Big kudos to Patrick for organizing the 2023 edition of EPG! Sad to miss it this year but @michaelhlerner will be presenting our World Bank-supported work on expert preferences for carbon pricing so will be there in spirit!
