Artikel, Bibliographie
Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
The idea of a green deal transforming industrialized societies’ climate policies in a sustainable manner has become highly popular in various countries. This article focuses on the politics behind green deals in Canada and the EU, raising four interrelatedissues. First, on a descriptive level, it addresses what has so far been achieved regarding climate policy in both polities. Second, at an analytical level, making use of the concept of carbon democracy, the study provides a theoretical explanation of why, until recently, progress has been slow in the EU and hardly visible in Canada. Third, on a prescriptive level, it argues that the notion of a green deal can be transformative and can thus provide a road to progressive climate policies. Finally, in a comparative manner, the analysis reveals Canada is still highly reluctant to enact any form of green deal, while the EU, with its notion of a ‘just transition’ and the set-up of a transition fund, has made important progress towards an effective and legitimategreen deal that could eventually turn the EU into a green democracy. 1Markus Lederer is professor ofpolitical sciencewith a focus on international politics at Technical UniversityDarmstadt.
