Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper addresses the impact of political regimes on carbon emissions (CO2) from a historical perspective, covering the period of 1970–2015. Our sample consists of 153 countries that we follow for 20 years before the transition (1970–1990) and 26 years after it (1990–2015). During transition, post-Communist states experienced a decline in CO2, when controlling for economic variables. Transition had a positive impact on the environment only in cases when it was associated with democratization. When transition has led to consolidation of autocratic regimes, CO2 has increased.

环境挑战与政治体制转型:历史遗产与欧盟在欧亚大陆的作用

摘要本文从历史的角度探讨了政治制度对碳排放的影响，涵盖了1970-2015年。我们的样本由153个国家组成，我们在过渡前（1970年至1990年）和过渡后（1990年至2015年）跟踪了20年。在过渡时期，后共产主义国家在控制经济变量时，二氧化碳排放量有所下降。只有在与民主化有关的情况下，过渡才会对环境产生积极影响。当过渡导致专制政权的巩固时，二氧化碳就会增加。
