Abstract

Abstract: Ideas and Lines of Conflict in German Discourse on Alliance Building for Eco-Social Policies

Although strategic cooperation between environmental and social interest groups has increased, societal conflicts over socio-ecological transformation are on the rise. This paper examines implicit lines of conflict among actors in the discourse at the climate and social policy interface. From a discursive institutionalist perspective, we identify five underlying ideas based on expert interviews: climate-centered, social-centered, compensatory, investive, and transformative. We discuss these ideas based on central characteristics and interpret them regarding potential developments. We identify distributional conflicts as central lines of conflict, yet their addressing has been avoided. We show that the debate is currently deadlocked, but the transformative idea signals a potential ideational change.
