But what about the politics of carbon pricing? Do political realities render carbon pricing impracticable? In this book, Barry Rabe offers the first major political science analysis of the feasibility and sustainability of carbon pricing, drawing upon a series of real-world attempts to price carbon over the last two decades in North America, Europe, and Asia.Rabe asks whether these policies have proven politically viable and, if adopted, whether they survive political shifts and managerial challenges over time. The entire policy life cycle is examined, from adoption through advanced implementation, on a range of pricing policies including not only carbon taxes and cap-and-trade but also such alternative methods as taxing fossil fuel extraction. These case studies, Rabe argues, show that despite the considerable political difficulties, carbon pricing can be both feasible and durable.American and comparative environmental policy.MIT Press scholarship online.Carbon taxesEnvironmental impact chargesClimatic changesGovernment policyENVIRONMENT/EnergyCarbon taxes.Environmental impact charges.Climatic changesGovernment policy.363.738/747Rabe Barry George1957-1635375OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910806847203321Can we price carbon4102115UNINA
