本論文は、グリーン移行政策の強度と経済的不平等が民主的な正当性にどのように相互作用するかを調査。欧州・OECD諸国のパネルデータを用いて、環境政策の厳格性、脱炭素化の進展、エネルギー負担可能性と、政治的信頼・民主主義満足度との関係を分析。結果、不平等が低く補償政策が整っている国では移行への支持が高いが、脆弱な家庭にコストが集中するとエネルギー貧困が増加し、ポピュリズムの温床となるリスクを示す。
English
This paper investigates how green transition policy intensity and economic inequality interact to shape democratic legitimacy. Using panel data from European and OECD countries, it analyzes links between environmental policy stringency, decarbonization progress, energy affordability, and measures of political trust and democratic satisfaction. The findings show that positive associations emerge mainly where inequality is low and compensatory policies are in place, while concentrated costs on vulnerable households increase energy poverty and risks of populist backlash.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本でもGX政策の加速に伴い、地域間格差やエネルギー貧困が政治的信頼に与える影響が注目されている。本論文の比較分析は、日本の「公正な移行」政策設計（特に石炭地域や低所得世帯への支援）に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
As the global green transition accelerates, the political feasibility of climate policies hinges on perceived fairness. This study provides cross-country evidence that compensating vulnerable groups and maintaining democratic trust is essential for sustaining decarbonization efforts—a key lesson for international climate governance and just transition frameworks.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a robust empirical framework linking environmental policy stringency, distributional outcomes, and democratic attitudes, useful for further work on political economy of climate policy.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights that effective decarbonization requires social protection and participatory governance to avoid erosion of public trust and political backlash.
📄 Abstract（原文）
This article investigates how the intensity of green transition policies interacts with economic inequality to shape democratic legitimacy. Drawing on a comparative panel of European and OECD countries, it links measures of environmental policy stringency, decarbonization progress and energy affordability with distributional indicators (income inequality and energy poverty) and survey-based outcomes (political trust and satisfaction with democracy). The analysis combines cross-sectional models, fixed-effects panel regressions and interaction tests to assess whether “just transition” conditions moderate citizens’ acceptance of climate policy. Results suggest that stronger green transition performance is not uniformly associated with higher trust or democratic satisfaction: positive associations emerge mainly where inequality is lower and compensatory welfare and price-shielding policies limit perceived unfairness. Where transition costs concentrate on vulnerable households and regions, energy poverty rises and legitimacy risks increase, creating political space for backlash and populist framing. Regime-type comparisons and short case illustrations (Germany, Poland, Lithuania and Turkey) highlight that institutional capacity and distributive policy design condition these dynamics. The study contributes a framework that integrates climate policy, inequality and democratic attitudes and underscores that effective decarbonization requires social protection, participatory governance and targeted compensation to maintain democratic support. It identifies energy poverty as a central mediating mechanism here.
