Summary
This book reviews taxing choices to protect the local and global environment and preserve and sustain natural resources. Alternative economic instruments such as carbon taxes and tradable permits to combat global climate change are also examined. Strategies and practices for the managing and sharing of revenues from natural resources are highlighted. Also, roles of various orders of government in managing, taxing, and sharing natural resources in selected countries are documented to highlight the impact of such division of responsibilities in preserving natural resources and the environment. The susceptibility of resource revenue dependent economies to corruption and malfeasance, and the Dutch disease, is also highlighted. This book could serve as a supplementary reference book for graduate and undergraduate courses and as a sourcebook for journalists, researchers, policymakers, and government practitioners. Anwar Shah is a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution (Washington, D.C., USA) and Advisor at the World Bank and OECD. He has previously served the Asian Development Bank, Canadian Ministry of Finance, the Government of Alberta, and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.--
