The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Environmental Politics: ‘Continuity and change in carbon market politics’
Professor Matthew Paterson is a co-author on a chapter ‘Continuity and change in carbon market politics’ in a new book published by Oxford University Press, The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Environmental Politics.
The complexities and scope of environmental issues have not only outpaced the capacities and responsiveness of traditional political actors but also generated new innovations, constituencies, and approaches to governing environmental problems.
In response, comparative environmental politics (CEP) has emerged as a vibrant and growing field of scholarly inquiry, embracing new questions and methods even as it addresses enduring questions in the broader field of comparative politics.
Utilizing a range of methodological approaches, delves into more traditional forms of CEP—the political economy of natural resources and the role of corporations and supply chains—while also showcasing new trends in CEP scholarship, particularly the comparative study of environmental injustice and intersectional inequities.
