Confronting the challenges of nuclear power governance, this book
provides pathways to nuclear safety cooperation between countries
in East Asia where regional cooperation is challenged by
geopolitical tensions. The book is split into three parts: first
looking at nuclear risk and safety communications, second on
nuclear policy and harmonization of safety standards, and third a
comparative analysis of nuclear regulatory agencies in East Asia.
Taken as a whole, the contributors recommend the establishment of a
nuclear safety system that allows for mutual verification of safety
standards at the regional level, as well as a regulatory framework
with international credibility which will help standardize risk
communication. They suggest that the exchange of experiences
involving nuclear power plant safety, efforts towards common safety
standards, safety management and collaborative efforts between
Japan, China, and South Korea are extremely urgent issues. By
comparing the European system of nuclear governance with that of
East Asia, the book highlights the need for nuclear safety
organizations in East Asia to strengthen interconnections and build
regional linkages. This book will be of interest to policymakers,
academics as well as researchers in the field of energy policy,
energy economics, nuclear safety, nuclear governance and nuclear
engineering.
This book looks at institutional reforms for the use of energy,
water and resources toward a sustainable future in East Asia. The
book argues that developments in the East Asian region are critical
to global sustainability and acknowledges that there is an
increasing degree of mutual reliance among countries in East Asia -
primarily China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. It analyzes environmental
impacts stemming from the use of energy, water and mineral
resources via economic development in East Asia in the medium to
long term (through 2050) through theoretical and empirical
modelling. The book also evaluates the ripple effects of
environmental and resource policies on each country's economy and
clarifies the direction of institutional reform in energy systems,
resources and water use for a sustainable future.

East Asia is a key region in the global economy, including both the
second and third largest global economies already and, led by
China, continuing to expand at a rapid rate. This economic growth
has led to unprecedented gains in prosperity in the region but it
has also led to increasing environmental pressures and energy
issues. This book assesses ways in which East Asia can continue or
even increase existing rates of economic growth while at the same
time reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental
degradation. Using advanced modelling approaches, future scenarios
for four East Asian countries are assessed in detail, including
analysis of particular challenges in each country (e.g. coal power
in China, nuclear power in Japan). Prospects for each country's
energy system are assessed in detail and the potential effects of
various types of Environmental Tax Reform in the four countries are
also considered carefully. The final section of the book explores
the interaction between trade liberalization, a key driver of
growth, and emission levels in the East Asia region.
This collection of essays on green fiscal reform offers very
rewarding readings for those who wish to improve their
understanding of the intricacies of trade globalization, climate
change and pricing mechanisms for the environment. The contributing
authors are truly global in their coverage, reporting on findings
and reflections from around the world. Highly commendable are the
insights on carbon pricing in China and the country's rare earth
dispute in WTO.' - Mikael Skou Andersen, Aarhus University,
Denmark'This volume of the Critical Issues in Environmental
Taxation series includes a remarkable collection of papers written
by scholars from different academic backgrounds, discussing
theoretical and practical aspects of environmental taxes and other
economic instruments, such as emission trading schemes. The book is
very relevant as it provides a fascinating overview of their
world-wide application and is a highly valuable contribution to the
existing literature, revealing that environmental taxes continue to
be applied during times of financial and economic crisis.' - Stefan
Ulrich Speck, European Environment Agency 'Environmental Taxation
and Green Fiscal Reform contains a rich selection of chapters that
discuss different economic instruments used for environmental
policy in a broad range of countries. The topics range from
theoretical discussions of the definitions of such instruments to
ex post assessments of their implementation. The book is an
important source of information and is likely to trigger
interesting debates.' - Nils Axel Braathen, OECD s Environment
Directorate Against a backdrop of intense political interest it is
more important than ever to explore the role of fiscal policy in
achieving environmental sustainability. Environmental Taxation and
Green Fiscal Reform skillfully explores the various ranges of
environmental and energy policies needed for an environmentally
sustainable future. The book combines perspectives from leading
environmental taxation scholars on both the theory and impact of
different policies. It covers topics such as theoretical
assumptions of environmental taxes; the relationship between
environmental taxes and trade; permit trading and price stability,
as well as waste management and the political economy. With its
global coverage, this topical book will appeal to policy makers in
government as well as academics in environmental law programs,
environmental economics programs and environmental sustainability
programs. Contributors: A.A. Alvaro, C. Brandimarte, B. Butcher, J.

This book reviews how far East Asian nations have implemented green
fiscal reform, and show how they can advance carbon-energy tax
reform to realize low carbon development, with special reference to
European policy and experience. East Asian nations are learning
European experiences to adopt them in their political, economic and
institutional contexts. However, implementation has been slow in
practice, partly due to low acceptability that comes from the same
concerns as in Europe, and partly due to weak institutional
arrangements for the reform. The slow progress in the revenue side
turns our eyes to the expenditure side: how East Asian nations have
increased environmental-related expenditures, and how far they have
greened sectorial expenditures. This "lifecycle" assessment of
fiscal reform, coupled with the assessment of the institutional
arrangement constitutes the features of this book. The book helps
to provide an overall picture of green fiscal reform and
carbon-energy tax reform in the East Asian region. The region has a
variety of countries, from lowest income to high income nations.
Nations have different interests in substance and barriers for
reform. This book covers recent development of environmental fiscal
reform and carbon-energy taxation in wider nations in the region,
including South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and
Japan. In addition, the book's holistic view helps to understand
why a specific nation has interest and concern on some aspects of
the reforms.

Tax Law and the Environment: A Multidisciplinary and Worldwide
Perspective takes a multidisciplinary approach to explore the ways
how tax policy can is used solve environmental problems throughout
the world, using a multi-jurisdictional and multidisciplinary
approach. Environmental taxation involves using taxes to impose a
cost on environmentally harmful activities or tax subsidies to
provide preferred tax treatment to more sustainable alternatives to
those harmful activities. This book provides a detailed analysis of
environmental taxation, with examples from around the world. As the
extraction, processing and use of energy use resources is has been
a major cause of environmental harm, this book explores the
taxation and subsidization of both fossil fuels and renewable
energy. Its analysis of the past, present, and future potential of
environmental taxation will help policymakers move economies toward
sustainability, as well as and informing students, academics, and
citizens about tax solutions for pressing environmental issues.
