Yet carbon trading remains at the heart of global attempts to respond to climate change. Not only this, but markets continue to proliferate - particularly in the Global South. The Politics of Carbon Markets helps to make sense of this paradox and brings two urgently needed insights to the analysis of carbon markets. First, the markets must be understood in relation to the politics involved in their development, maintenance and opposition. Second, this politics is multiform and pervasive. Implementation of new techniques and measuring tools, policy development and contestation, and the structuring context of institutional settings and macro-social forces all involve a variety of political actors and create new forms of political agency. The contributions study the total extent of the carbon markets, from their prehistory to their contemporary expansion and wider impacts. This wide-ranging political perspective on the carbon markets is invaluable to those studying and interested in ecological markets, climate change governance and environmental politics"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "Today's beleaguered yet expanding carbon market represents a type of relationship between economy and ecology scarcely imaginable forty years ago. This collection brings together a comprehensive array of perspectives to critically scrutinise the development and on-going maintenance of this global carbon market. The book's contributors recognise that the market itself, as well as the notion of the environment that it instantiates, is highly political and contested; thus the chapters investigate the market system and its insertion into and influence on climate and environmental governance within the global political economy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Emissions trading $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Carbon offsetting $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Carbon dioxide mitigation $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Air $x Political aspects. $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Environmental policy. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85044197 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS $x Economic Development. $x Economic Development. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS $x Sustainable Development. $x Sustainable Development. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS $x Environmental Economics. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Kohlendioxidemission. $0 (DE-588)4164507-8 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Luftverschmutzung. $0 (DE-588)4074381-0 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Umweltpolitik. $0 (DE-588)4078523-3 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Umweltzertifikathandel. $0 (DE-588)4572791-0 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Wirtschaftspolitik. $0 (DE-588)4066493-4 $2 gnd 700 1 $a Stephan, Benjamin. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2012064003 700 1 $a Lane, Richard $c (Research student, University of Sussex) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2014023175 830 0 $a Routledge studies in environmental policy. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2013070913 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217020303.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=070C151A033A11E8972C924897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
