Governments face a conflicting choice between economic growth, democracy and tackling the climate crisis. They cannot achieve all three objectives simultaneously and the growing tensions between them are being played out in countries across the world. It is the new trilemma of advanced capitalist democracy.

The authors use this trilemma as a fresh analytic framework to conceptualise these tradeoffs and tensions in the study of capitalist democracies. In a compelling analysis, the authors argue that the type of democratic politics that is required to generate growth and prosperity within the ecological limits of the planet has not been taken seriously in the study of comparative political economy and needs to be located at the heart of future research. Given the unprecedented scale of structural reform that governments need to implement to effectively tackle the climate crisis, the authors question whether the transition to carbon neutrality can be done within the liberal rulebook that has governed the politics of advanced capitalism for the past 100 years.
