Reviews
'This collection of essays on green fiscal reform offers very rewarding readings for those who wish to improve their understanding of the intricacies of trade globalization, climate change and pricing mechanisms for the environment. The contributing authors are truly global in their coverage, reporting on findings and reflections from around the world. Highly commendable are the insights on carbon pricing in China and the country's rare earth dispute in WTO.' - Professor Mikael Skou Andersen, Aarhus University, Denmark 'This volume of the Critical Issues in Environmental Taxation series includes a remarkable collection of papers written by scholars with different academic background discussing theoretical and practical aspects of environmental taxes and other economic instruments, such as emission trading schemes. The book is very relevant as it provides a fascinating overview of their world-wide application and is a highly valuable contribution to the existing literature revealing that environmental taxes continue to be applied during the times of financial and economic crisis.' - Stefan Ulrich Speck, European Environment Agency 'Environmental Taxation and Green Fiscal Reform contains a rich selection of chapters that discuss different economic instruments used for environmental policy in a broad range of countries. The topics range from theoretical discussions of the definitions of such instruments to ex post assessments of their implementation. The book is an important source of information and is likely to trigger interesting debates.' - Nils Axel, OECD's Environment Directorate
