"The carbon markets are in the middle of a fundamental crisis - a crisis marked by
collapsing prices, fleeing actors, and ever increasing greenhouse gas levels. Yet
carbon trading remains at the heart of global attempts to respond to climate change.
Not only this, but markets continue to proliferate - particularly in the Global South.
The Politics of Carbon Markets helps to make sense of this paradox and brings two
urgently needed insights to the analysis of carbon markets. First, the markets must
be understood in relation to the politics involved in their development, maintenance
and opposition. Second, this politics is multiform and pervasive. Implementation of
new techniques and measuring tools, policy development and contestation, and the structuring
context of institutional settings and macro-social forces all involve a variety of
political actors and create new forms of political agency. The contributions study
the total extent of the carbon markets, from their prehistory to their contemporary
expansion and wider impacts. This wide-ranging political perspective on the carbon
markets is invaluable to those studying and interested in ecological markets, climate
change governance and environmental politics" ; "Today's beleaguered yet expanding
carbon market represents a type of relationship between economy and ecology scarcely
imaginable forty years ago. This collection brings together a comprehensive array
of perspectives to critically scrutinise the development and on-going maintenance
of this global carbon market. The book's contributors recognise that the market itself,
as well as the notion of the environment that it instantiates, is highly political
and contested; thus the chapters investigate the market system and its insertion into
and influence on climate and environmental governance within the global political
economy"
