Abstract
|
|
|
|
| This chapter links two theoretical literature streams: environmental taxation literature and sustainability transitions literature. It analyzes whether and how the instrument of environmental taxation can bring about the fundamental socio-technical systems changes that will lead to a sustainability transition. Different theoretical features of both literature strands are confronted, such as the mulitlevel model, the multi-phase perspective, the social practices model, pigouvian taxation, double dividend, technology diffusion and social practices. The authors conclude that the instrument of taxation can indeed play a role in speeding-up sustainability transitions, particularly through technological innovation. |
