Abstract

In the previous chapter, it was demonstrated that Conservative and Liberal parties accommodated producer interests in green taxation to a greater extent than Social Democratic and Labour parties. Thus, the party composition of governments partly explains why tax schemes vary across Western European countries. However, it does not fully explain the variation, because green taxation differs among countries with similar governments. This variation is the focus of this chapter. It is more than just cosmetic and may be the result of divergent power resources of producers caused by differences in structural relationships between government departments and producer groups. Such relationships are known as policy networks and are important determinants of the design of green tax schemes. In this chapter, we concentrate on this third political constraint in green taxation.
