Carbon coalitions: business, climate politics, and the rise of emissions trading

摘要

In Carbon Coalitions Jonas Meckling documents the influence of business on the creation of global carbon markets. Yet the main characters in this story, the events, and the ideas are already well known. [The history of emissions trading and carbon markets is detailed in, to give just a few examples from the literature, Gorman and Solomon (2002), Sandor et al (2002a; 2002b), Voss (2007), Skjasrseth and Wettestad (2008), and Convery (2009).] So what can any new book on this topic contribute?
