“…On this account, judgements among individuals about the legitimacy of an institution are based on assessments of the congruence between its goals, practices and behaviours and their own (Hough et al, 2010;Jackson et al, 2011;Bradford et al, 2014b). This normative alignment (the sense that police officers are seen to have an appropriate sense of right and wrong in the eyes of citizens) gives the institution the moral right to power in the eyes of those they govern (Beetham, 1991;Bottoms & Tankebe, 2013). In turn, it may also motivate behaviour through a sense of value congruence and a heightened sense of social obligation (Jackson et al, 2012a).…”

“…The outcome revealed vast differences among the countries regarding the willingness to commit to reductions of greenhouse gases, and it is clear that future negotiations will ultimately depend on how politically acceptable the proposed reductions are to domestic constituencies. Hence, for policymakers to maintain legitimacy in international negotiations, the costs that a country agrees to pay (implicitly given by the agreement to reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions) must be accepted by the citizens who, in the end, will bear the costs of the reduction (Beetham 1991). However, little is known about how the willingness to pay (WTP) to avoid the consequences of climate change differs among and within countries.…”

Unique survey data from a contingent valuation study conducted in three different countries (China, Sweden, and the United States) were used to investigate the ordinary citizen's willingness to pay (WTP) for reducing CO 2 emissions. We find that a large majority of the respondents in all three countries believe that the mean global temperature has increased over the last 100 years and that humans are responsible for the increase. A smaller share of Americans, however, believes these statements, when compared to the Chinese and Swedes. A larger share of Americans is also pessimistic and believes that nothing can be done to stop climate change. We also find that Sweden has the highest WTP for reductions of CO 2 , while China has the lowest. Thus, even though the Swedes and Chinese are similar to each other in their attitudes toward climate change, they differ considerably in their WTP. When WTP is measured as a share of household income, the willingness to pay is the same for Americans and Chinese, while again higher for the Swedes.

“…Network analyses of discourse and advocacy coalitions are integral parts of the literature on public policy. Ideas and beliefs are important ingredients for the formation of advocacy coalitions (Sabatier, 1988) and legitimate policy outputs (Beetham, 1991). Network analysis has been mostly applied to explaining policy outcomes, but less for policy learning (Rose, 2005) and evidencebased policy-making (Pawson, 2002;Solesbury, 2001).…”

“…The timing of the process did not allow for major inputs on co-benefits into the Chilean INDC, although it is anticipated that the information on co-benefits will be key for decisions on its implementation. 12 The Colombian, Chilean, South African and Indian researchers developed interest in applying MCDAs to the problem of co-benefits. MCDA has a central position in the network, because four countries contributed to advancing this methodology for co-benefits assessment.…”

This paper analyses knowledge networks on co-benefits of climate and development. The world's most sizeable populations live in middle-income countries with emerging economies and growing emissions. This situation requires political intervention to facilitate economic growth, job creation and poverty eradication alongside efforts to control emissions growth. This interdisciplinary study draws on concepts and methods from sociology, political science, science and technology studies and the management literature. The authors combine social network and discourse network analysis in an innovative way. The methodology analyses both the interactions between researchers as well as their actual knowledge contributions. The study argues that there is a substantial network of knowledge holders involved in knowledge creation on climate and development co-benefits. Our analysis shows the type of interactions between two knowledge networks as well as new knowledge emerging from these networks. Research groups and practitioners have produced 17 novel knowledge contributions, ranging from definitions of co-benefits, methodology and implementation. Yet the networks remain loosely connected. Practitioners who have less time to assess academic literature could benefit from closer interactions with more academically oriented experts and vice versa.
