Reviews

`Stefan Weishaar brought an excellent group of authors together in this book, reflecting on key developments for the green market transition! Happy to read so many refreshing contributions on carbon taxes, energy subsidies and smart instrument mixes.' -- - Kurt Deketelaere, University of Leuven, Belgium `The adoption of the Paris Agreement on climate change has made it crystal clear that the attention of scholars and practitioners alike needs to shift to the functioning of policies in support of a low-carbon transition. Offering a timely and important contribution, Weishaar and colleagues have brought together a distinguished and diverse group of authors, who together generate a wealth of ideas for the design of policy instrument mixes in various parts of the world.' -- Harro van Asselt, University of Eastern Finland Law School Contributions to this timely volume cover some of the most remarkable and important international developments of market-based instruments for environmental policy. Highlights include analytical insights on recent state-level policy proposals in the USA, on innovative methods of linking emissions trading schemes with environmental taxation and on South Africa's carbon tax proposal spanning one third of Africa's emissions.' -- Mikael Skou Andersen, Aarhus University, Denmark `This excellent volume is yet another contribution to the leading series Critical Issues in Environmental Taxation, which year on year allows experts and policy makers alike to keep abreast of the progress made in developing and implementing tax schemes for environmental protection. Focussing on the impact of the Paris agreement, chapters provide a thorough, data based analysis, of what is being done, how it is working, and what challenges remain. The editors and authors alike should be commended for the output.' -- Javier de Cendra, IE Law School, Spain

'Following the adoption of the Paris Agreement on climate change in December 2015, it has become crystal clear that the attention of scholars and practitioners alike needs to shift to the functioning of policies in support of a low-carbon transition at the national and, in the case of the European Union, regional level. The Green Market Transition offers a timely and important contribution in this regard, by sharing insights from the disciplines of law and economics into the functioning and performance of some of the major policy instruments in the policy-maker's toolkit, including carbon taxation and energy subsidies. Weishaar and colleagues have brought together a distinguished and diverse group of authors, who together generate a wealth of ideas for the design of policy instrument mixes in various parts of the world.' -- Harro van Asselt, University of Eastern Finland Law School 'Stefan Weishaar brought an excellent group of authors together in this book, reflecting on key developments for the green market transition!
