Summary: This article argues that rising economic inequality and declining political trust have normative implications for Western governments' pursuit of climate justice. The inequality constraint and the legitimation constraint are identified as important elements in a nonideal theory of climate justice. The French Yellow Vests movement is seen as a form of resistance to decarbonization policies that did not address these constraints. The article suggests that redistributive and participatory-democratic measures are necessary for a feasible pathway to a decarbonized economy.

Summary: This article examines the dynamics of modern authoritarian regimes, using Belarus as a case study. By studying the transition of Belarus from a competitive authoritarian regime to a hegemonic authoritarian regime, and its further shift from a spin dictatorship to a fear dictatorship, the study reveals the multifaceted nature of dictatorships. The main findings suggest that using elections as a means to classify regimes does not fully explain their impact on authoritarian vulnerability, and different classifications of dictatorship, such as spin versus fear, are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

Summary: This study presents evidence from two national surveys indicating that moderate Democratic candidates have an electoral advantage over more extreme candidates in elections against Donald Trump. However, the high support for Bernie Sanders is due to an implausibly large increase in intended turnout among young voters.

Summary: This study explores the changing discourse of the Republican People's Party (CHP) in Turkey as it confronts a populist authoritarian government. It examines the role of opposition in fueling or challenging the polarizing populist narrative of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). The study argues that opposition parties actively contribute to and oppose the process of autocratization and that the CHP has shifted its electoral and discursive strategy under Kemal Kilicdaroglu's leadership.

Summary: Media coverage exaggerates affective polarization among partisans, creating a belief among the public that it is more severe than it really is. This study finds that this social desirability does exist, and it can influence how partisans express their affective polarization, although small changes in survey context may not lead to significant changes in their responses.

Summary: This article examines how the European Council and its support structures address the energy crisis. It discusses the theoretical approach of the EUCO system in managing multiple crises, emphasizing the need for high-level political engagement, technical expertise, and innovative thinking. The study employs embedded process tracing to analyze how the EUCO system shapes energy price policies, overcoming divisions among member states and utilizing positive politicization.

Summary: This study examines the political budget cycle hypothesis using revenue data from Italian municipal administrations. The findings suggest that mayors engage in opportunistic behavior in pre-election years, but this behavior is influenced by term limits. Mayors also strategically offset reductions in salient fees and taxes by increasing non-tax revenues.

Summary: This paper uses Critical Political Economy (CPE) to examine energy transitions in Mexico, focusing on the conflicts between different energy visions and territorial struggles. The analysis is based on two low-carbon infrastructure projects in Yucatan, Mexico, considering the broader implications for political economy and contemporary struggles. The paper argues for a critical approach that ensures low-carbon infrastructure serves as the material basis for pluriversal transitions informed by affected communities and their territorial struggles, rather than new forms of extraction.

The dataset is introduced with an explanation of its construction, data-collection process, and measures taken to ensure data validity and reliability. The usefulness of the dataset is illustrated by analyzing the impact of military policing on violence and human rights violations at the global level. The significance of the M3 dataset is discussed, highlighting its potential for researchers in various fields.

Summary: Studies have found a statistical relationship between trust in the government and support for gun control laws in the United States. Democratic partisans tend to support gun restrictions more than Republicans, while the opposite is true for loosening gun laws. This study explores the interactive relationship between trust in the government and partisan identification in predicting support for gun reform. It finds that trust in government has a significant impact on Republican views, but almost no impact on those of Democrats.
