Daniel Driscoll

Postdoctoral Research Associate, Rhodes Center for International Economics and Finance

Daniel Driscoll is a political economist and sociologist of climate change. Several key questions guide his research: Why do some states, institutions, and people fight for the climate, while others do not? And what explains how, in some places but not others, movements and policies emerge in response to global climate change? To answer these questions, he utilizes diverse research methods, from statistical to comparative-historical to ethnographic. His work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals including Social Problems, Journal of Common Market Studies, Comparative Politics, Sociological Forum, Social Science Quarterly, Socius, and Social Movement Studies. He is currently writing a book titled Why Carbon Taxes Failed.
