The EU Emissions Trading Scheme

The EU Emissions Trading Scheme

This special issue of the Climate Policy journal outlines the fundamentals of the new European Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) assesses the strategies for and impact of implementation and highlights the scheme's potential including positive aspects and remaining hurdles. The EU Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is the first international trading scheme for CO2 in the world. Its aim is to reduce the cost of compliance to existing targets under the Kyoto Protocol. From 1st January 2005 companies in high-energy sectors covered by the scheme must limit their CO2 emissions to allocated levels arranged in two periods: from 2005-2007 and 2008-2012 (to match the first Kyoto commitment period). In practice the scheme is likely to cover over 12 000 installations across the European Union corresponding to approximately 46% of the total EU CO2 emissions. The EU ETS represents a significant development in working at an international level to combat dangerous climate change. The EU Emissions Trading Scheme presents a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the EU ETS written by international experts in the field. The publication includes the latest research on emissions credits the interaction of the trading scheme with national energy policies and the debate on future expansion.

Early Modern Trading Networks in Europe Cooperation and the case of Simon Ruiz

Early Modern Trading Networks in Europe Cooperation and the case of Simon Ruiz

In the early modern period trade became a truly global phenomenon. The logistics financial and organizational complexity associated with it increased in order to connect distant geographies and merchants from different backgrounds. How did these merchants prevent their partners from dishonesty in a time where formal institutions and legislation did not traverse these different worlds? This book studies the mechanisms and criteria of cooperation in early modern trading networks. It uses an interdisciplinary approach through the case study of a Castilian long-distance merchant of the sixteenth century Simon Ruiz who traded within the limits of the Portuguese and Spanish overseas empires. Early Modern Trading Networks in Europe discusses the importance of reciprocity mechanisms trust and reputation in the context of early modern business relations using network analysis methodology combining quantitative data with qualitative information. It considers how cooperation and prevention could simultaneously create a business relationship and describes the mechanisms of control policing and punishment used to avoid opportunism and deception among a group of business partners. Using bills of exchange and correspondence from Simon Ruiz’s private archive it charts the evolution of this business network through time debating which criteria should be included or excluded from business networks as well as the emergence of standards. This book intends to put forward a new approach to early modern trade which focusses on individuals interacting in self-organized structures rather than on States or Empires. It shows how indirect reciprocity was much more frequent than direct reciprocity among early modern merchants and how informal norms like ostracism and signalling helped to prevent defection and deception in an effective way. This book will be of interest to all early modern historians especially those with an interest in economic history and the history of international trade. | Early Modern Trading Networks in Europe Cooperation and the case of Simon Ruiz
