With carbon markets worth $144 billion in 2009, carbon trading represents the largest manifestation of the trend toward market-based environmental governance. In Carbon Coalitions, Jonas Meckling presents the first comprehensive study on the rise of carbon trading and the role business played in making this policy instrument a central pillar of global climate governance.Meckling explains how a transnational coalition of firms and a few market-oriented environmental groups actively promoted international emissions trading as a compromise policy solution in a situation of political stalemate. The coalition sidelined not only environmental groups that favored taxation and command-and-control regulation but also business interests that rejected any emissions controls. Considering the sources of business influence, Meckling emphasizes the importance of political opportunities (policy crises and norms), coalition resources (funding and legitimacy,) and political strategy (mobilizing state allies and multilevel advocacy).Meckling presents three case studies that represent milestones in the rise of carbon trading: the internationalization of emissions trading in the Kyoto Protocol (1989-2000); the creation of the EU Emissions Trading System (1998-2008); and the reemergence of emissions trading on the U.S. policy agenda (2001-2009). These cases and the theoretical framework that Meckling develops for understanding the influence of transnational business coalitions offer critical insights into the role of business in the emergence of market-based global environmental governance. 606 $aEmissions trading 606 $aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy 606 $aEmissions trading$zUnited States 606 $aEmissions trading$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aEmissions trading$zGreat Britain 606 $aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy$zGreat Britain 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEmissions trading. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aEmissions trading 615 0$aEmissions trading 615 0$aEmissions trading 615 0$aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy 615 0$aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy 615 0$aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy 676 $a363.738/746 700 $aMeckling$b Jonas$0857349 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457440603321 996 $aCarbon coalitions$91914296 997 $aUNINA
