Synopsis

Based on a major three-year study across the UK, this book explores the various actors and policies that deal with the governance of reducing transport-related carbon emissions. Using this clear and globally crucial example of climate change governance, the authors are able to tease apart a range of debates and dilemmas and fully explore the nature, pace and significance of core policies designed to tackle climate change. Much research in the field has over-emphasized the international realm and global policy, whereas this text uncovers the huge importance of domestic policy development and emission reduction. It highlights normative positions that lie at the heart of institutional structures, enabling broader debates into the capacity and future of democratic governance
