Energy and Power
A novel exploration of the deeper political, economic, and geopolitical history behind Germany's daring campaign to restructure its energy system around green power. Since the 1990s, Germany has embarked on a daring campaign to restructure its energy system around renewable power, sparking a global revolution in solar and wind technology. But this pioneering energy transition has been plagued with problems. In Energy and Power, Stephen G. Gross explains the deeper origins of the Energiewende--Germany's transition to green energy--and offers the first comprehensive history of German energy and climate policy from World War II to the present.

Fiscal measures are being used increasingly by governments to secure environmental policy objectives. Through a comparative study of the water policies of Denmark, France, Germany and the Netherlands, Andersen shows how "green taxes", as opposed to administrative regulation, have worked.

On Strategies for Avoiding Dangerous Climate Change
What are the prospects for averting dangerous climate change and which strategies offer promising avenues to successfully tackle this global challenge?

Zur Einkommens- und Vermögensverteilung in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in den neunziger Jahren im Vergleich zu den siebziger Jahren
Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Das Problem der Größenverteilung der Einkommen und Vermögen zwischen den Angehörigen eines Staates, einer Region oder einer Wirtschaftsordnung beschäftigt die Menschen, seit sie wirtschaften. Von Aristoteles stammt die Erkenntnis: „Armut ist die Mutter von Gewalt und Verbrechen.“ Angestrebt wurde und wird eine möglichst gerechte Verteilung der Güter. Was aber eine gerechte Verteilung ist und wie man sie erreichen kann, darüber herrschen von je her unterschiedliche Auffassungen. In der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wird besonders seit den 80-er Jahren unter Ökonomen, Sozialpolitikern, aber auch in der Öffentlichkeit eine Diskussion geführt, wie das nach d...
Europarechtlicher Ordnungsrahmen für Umweltsubventionen
Subventionen stehen seit jeher bei ihren Trägern, der sie mit ihren Steuermitteln finanzierenden Öffentlichkeit, naturgemäß bei den (reinen) Marktwirtschaftlern, aber auch in der politischen Programmatik (nicht aber in der politischen Realität) im Ruf einer - je nach Perspektive - »illegitimen« Strategie. Für Umweltsubventionen kommt hinzu, daß sie »diametral entgegengesetzt« einem der zentralen Leitgedanken der Umweltpolitik, dem Verursacherprinzip, widersprechen. In der europarechtlichen Literatur hat dieses Problem - ungeachtet seiner praktischen Bedeutung - bislang wenig Beachtung gefunden. Der neue »Gemeinschaftsrahmen für staatliche Umweltschutzbeihilfen« brachte zwar wic...
The Rush to German Unity
The bringing down of the Berlin Wall is one of the most vivid images and historic events of the late twentieth century. The reunification of Germany has transformed the face of Europe. In one stunning year, two separate states with clashing ideologies, hostile armies, competing economies, and incompatible social systems merged into one.

Initial elation has given way to the realities and problems posed in reuniting two such different systems. The Rush to German Unity presents a clear historical reconstruction of the confusing events. It focuses on the dramatic experiences of the ...
