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. 410 0$aAmerican and comparative environmental policy. 410 0$aMIT Press scholarship online. 606 $aCarbon taxes 606 $aEnvironmental impact charges 606 $aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy 610 $aENVIRONMENT/Energy 615 0$aCarbon taxes. 615 0$aEnvironmental impact charges. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy. 676 $a363.738/747 700 $aRabe$b Barry George$f1957-$0903067 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910468019803321 996 $aCan we price carbon$92457033 997 $aUNINA
