“…On the other hand, environmental questions are not apart from the left-right cleavage as left-wing orientation predicts typically more supportive attitudes toward environmental protection (e.g. Bechtel et al, 2019;Drews and van den Bergh, 2016).…”

“…While the public argument on tackling certain other environmental problems had already begun earlier, the breakthrough of climate change into political debates took place in the 1980s. When compared to right-wingers, supporters of left-wing are typically more concerned about the climate change (Clements, 2012;Kvaløy, et al, 2012) and more in favor of climate policies (Bechtel et al, 2019;Drews and van den Bergh, 2016;Neumayer, 2004).…”

PurposeThis study examines how the effects of three predictors, namely left–right political orientation, generalized trust and political trust, on fossil fuel taxation attitudes vary between post-communist and other European countries.Design/methodology/approachBy using European Social Survey (ESS) Round 8 data and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression, this paper studied the effects of the hypothesized predictors on fossil fuel taxation attitudes across post-communist and other European countries. The countries were analyzed both in group and individually.FindingsThe results showed that stronger left-wing orientation, higher generalized trust and higher political trust predict more support for fossil fuel taxation at the country group level in both post-communist and other Europe. However, the effects were generally speaking less consistent and significant in the countries of the post-communist Europe. By and large, the effect of political trust was the most significant and universal.Originality/valueThe findings contribute to the understanding how left–right political orientation and generalized trust have somewhat distinct effects on fossil fuel taxation attitudes in different European country contexts, while the effect of political trust is more universal across the continent.

In Global Environmental Politics (“Prisoners of the Wrong Dilemma: Why Distributive Conflict, Not Collective Action, Characterizes the Politics of Climate Change,” 20 (4): 4–27), Michaël Aklin and Matto Mildenberger argue against the prevailing characterization of climate change cooperation as a problem of free riding or collective action. The authors argue that models of collective action imply, first, policy reciprocity and, second, inaction in the absence of formal agreements to limit free riding. They argue that neither empirical implication is supported by an review of states’ climate policy to date. In this comment, we note that standard collective action models imply neither of the above hypotheses. As a result, the empirical tests advanced in the original article are uninformative as to the explanatory power of the collective action model for international climate politics.
