Small wonder that many experts question whether democracies have the ability to cope with the causes and long-term consequences of a changing climate. Some even argue that authoritarian regimes are better equipped to make the tough choices required to tackle the climate crisis.\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;\"\u003eIn this incisive book, Daniel Fiorino challenges the assumptions and evidence offered by sceptics of democracy and its capacity to handle climate change. Democracies, he explains, typically enjoy higher levels of environmental performance and produce greater innovation in technology, policy, and climate governance than autocracies. Rather than less democracy, Fiorino calls for a more accountable and responsive politics that will provide democratically-elected governments with the enhanced capacity for collective action on climate and other environmental issues.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eTables and box\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The Challenge to Governance\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Do Authoritarian Regimes Do Better?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Why Democracies Differ\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 How Democracies Will Handle Climate Change\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441789432088,"sku":"9781509523955","price":31.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509523955.jpg?v=1785025296","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/can-democracy-handle-climate-change-hardback-9781509523955","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
