This article focuses on the role of actor relations in advancing climate policymaking and argues that attempts to understand decisions to decarbonise in a green state should explore the institutional conditions for policymaking. The article explores the climate policy model in Sweden in terms of the societal actors included in the policy process, the nature of this inclusion, and its relevance for the prospects of decarbonisation. It uses three perspectives in the analysis: corporatism, sustainable transition studies, and ecological democracy. The findings largely support existing research that states characterised by corporatist policymaking are suited for environmental governance and for climate policymaking. However, as a model of governance of actor relations, the Swedish climate policymaking model has both its merits and demerits. Although it has potential to reach decarbonisation objectives, it does this in the context of including mainly established economic interests, that is, incumbents. This stands in contrast with what is argued in sustainable transition studies that incumbents obstruct change, in the Swedish case they are viewed as potential change agents. Finally, although the character of the actor relations is deliberative, it is a top–down exclusive kind of deliberation that remains far from ideals of ecological democracy.

气候政策制定中的参与者关系:在法团绿色国家中治理脱碳

本文重点关注参与者关系在推进气候政策制定中的作用,并认为尝试了解绿色国家脱碳决策应探索政策制定的制度条件。本文从政策过程中包括的社会行为者,这种纳入的性质及其与脱碳前景的相关性方面探讨了瑞典的气候政策模型。它在分析中使用了三种视角:社团主义,可持续转型研究和生态民主。这些发现在很大程度上支持了现有研究,即以社团主义政策制定为特征的州适合于环境治理和气候政策制定。但是,作为一种行为者关系治理模式,瑞典的气候政策制定模式既有优点也有缺点。尽管它有潜力实现脱碳目标,但在主要包括既定的经济利益(即现有利益)的背景下做到了这一点。这与可持续转型研究中的论点形成鲜明对比,在可持续发展研究中,现任者阻碍变革,在瑞典,他们被视为潜在的变革推动者。最后,尽管主体关系的性质是经过深思熟虑的,但这是一种自上而下的排他性审议,与生态民主的理想相去甚远。
