Climate and Trade Policy
Bottom-up Approaches Towards Global Agreement
Edited by Carlo Carraro and Christian Egenhofer
The difficulty of achieving and implementing a global climate change agreement has stimulated a wide range of policy proposals designed to favour the participation of a large number of countries in a global cooperative effort to control greenhouse gas emissions. This significant book analyses the viability of controlling climate change through a set of regional or sub-global climate agreements rather than via a global treaty.
China and the Global Energy Crisis
Development and Prospects for China’s Oil and Natural Gas
Tatsu Kambara and Christopher Howe

The authors conclude that there are no fundamental reasons for anxiety about China’s demands on the world energy economy, but they emphasize that its energy future will depend critically on a continuation of reform and internationalization. China and the Global Energy Crisis is a concise but detailed study of these issues.
