Climate Liberalism examines the potential and limitations of
classical-liberal approaches to pollution control and climate
change. Some successful environmental strategies, such as the use
of catch-shares for fisheries, instream water rights, and tradable
emission permits, draw heavily upon the classical liberal
intellectual tradition and its emphasis on property rights and
competitive markets. This intellectual tradition has been less
helpful, to date, in the development or design of climate change
policies. Climate Liberalism aims to help fill the gap in the
academic literature examining the extent to which classical-liberal
principles, including an emphasis on property rights, decentralized
authority and dynamic markets, can inform the debate over
climate-change policies. The contributors in this book approach the
topic from a range of perspectives and represent multiple academic
disciplines. Chapters consider the role of property rights and
common-law legal systems in controlling pollution, the extent to
which competitive markets backed by legal rules encourage risk
minimization and adaptation, and how to identify the sorts of
policy interventions that may help address climate change in ways
that are consistent with liberal values.
