Constructing Policy (In)coherence in Germany's Energy Transition and Impacts on (In)equality

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Policy coherence is widely regarded as essential for achieving sustainable development, climate targets, and reducing inequality, as reflected in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Recent scholarship has moved beyond technocratic approaches, drawing on comparative politics, particularly the “3 I's” of ideas, interests, and ...

The Power to Care for Oneself: Power Increases Self‐Compassion

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sense of power and self‐compassion both impact important intrapsychic and interpersonal outcomes. However, how powerholders treat themselves when experiencing failure or personal setbacks is unclear. We propose that powerholders are more apt than their lower‐power counterparts to exhibit self‐compassion when faced with difficulties. Across six
