Energy Tax and Regulatory Policy in Europe
Concise introductions to the main issues in energy policy and their interaction with environmental policies in the EU. The European Union (EU) faces critical challenges in energy policy making, the most pressing of which are how to achieve the deep greenhouse gas reductions promised at the December 2015 UN Conference of the Parties in Paris, and how this effort can be coordinated with already existing policies. Energy policy is primarily a member state responsibility, and policy makers need an overarching view of the main issues in energy policy and their interaction with environmental policies. This volume aims to fill this need, offering concise introductions to some of the major issues as...
Sustainability
This book proposes a holistic transdisciplinary approach to sustainability as a subject of social sciences. At the same time, this approach shows new ways, as perspectives of philosophy, political science, law, economics, sociology, cultural studies and others are here no longer regarded separately. Instead, integrated perspectives on the key issues are carved out: Perspectives on conditions of transformation to sustainability, on key instruments and the normative questions. This allows for a concise answer to urgent and controversial questions such as the following: Is the EU an environmental pioneer? Is it possible to achieve sustainability by purely technical means? If not: will that mean...
Environmental Law and Economics
This anthology discusses important issues surrounding environmental law and economics and provides an in-depth analysis of its use in legislation, regulation and legal adjudication from a neoclassical and behavioural law and economics perspective. Environmental issues raise a vast range of legal questions: to what extent is it justifiable to rely on markets and continued technological innovation, especially as it relates to present exploitation of scarce resources? Or is it necessary for the state to intervene? Regulatory instruments are available to create and maintain a more sustainable society: command and control regulations, restraints, Pigovian taxes, emission certificates, nudging pol...
Die Staatsfinanzierung nach der Paulskirchenverfassung
English summary: Taxation is essential to every state-and taxation is a threat to the economic freedom of the individual. Therefore in every constitution the provisions on taxation are of paramount importance. Simon Kempny examines how the issues of taxation and public finance are dealt with in the first modern German constitution, adopted on March 28, 1849. German description: Die Geschichte der bundesstaatlichen Finanzverfassung Deutschlands beginnt nicht erst 1867/71, sondern bereits 1848/49. Die in Folge der Marzrevolution in der Frankfurter Paulskirche zusammengetretene deutsche Nationalversammlung erarbeitete eine Reichsverfassung, die sowohl finanz- als auch steuerverfassungsrechtlich...
The Green Frontier: Assessing the Economic Implications of Climate Action
Addressing climate change will entail major challenges for economic growth, employment, inflation, and public finances. Mitigating the impact of global warming will yield benefits and costs that are yet to be quantified and defined for the global economy and for nations, workers, households, and companies. The Green Frontier: Assessing the Economic Implications of Climate Action offers research originally presented at a major conference at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in June 2023 in Washington, DC, organized to shed light on this still unexplored field of study and recommend policies for the future.

A Pragmatist Orientation for the Social Sciences in Climate Policy
While economic and other social science expertise is indispensable for successful public policy-making regarding global climate change, social scientists face trade-offs between the scientific credibility, policy-relevance, and legitimacy of their policy advice. From a philosophical perspective, this book systematically addresses these trade-offs and other crucial challenges facing the integrated economic assessments of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Based on John Dewey’s pragmatist philosophy and an analysis of the value-laden nature and reliability of climate change economics, the book develops a refined science-policy model and specific guidelines for these assess...
Global Common Good
Die Weltgemeinschaft ist heute mehr denn je mit gewaltigen Herausforderungen konfrontiert.
