The European Union's Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is the world's largest carbon trading market. This book offers a new perspective on the EU ETS as a multi-level governance regime, in which the regulatory process is composed of three distinct 'competences' - norm setting, implementation, and enforcement. Are these competences best combined in a single regulator at one level of government or would they be better allocated among a variety of regulators at different levels of government? The combined legal, economic, and political analysis in this book reveals that the actual allocation of competences within the EU ETS diverges from a hypothetical ideal allocation in important ways, and provides a political economy explanation for the existing allocation of norm setting, implementation and enforcement competences among various levels of European government.
Read more- Offers a new perspective – the allocation of regulatory competences – on the functioning of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme
- Goes beyond traditional legal or economic discussions of the subject by including a political economy analysis of the political process surrounding the EU Emissions Trading Scheme adoption and redesign
- Brings existing economic and legal literature on federalism closer in line with reality of multi-level governance in the European Union
Reviews & endorsements
'This book is destined to stun lawyers with an interest in regulation as a means to solve problems, due to its extra-legal dimension and the wealth of insights the author thus provides … this book offers a precise analysis of the implications of competence allocation in an optimal and a real-life setting.' Andrea Keessen, Common Market Law Review
