This comprehensive book delves into the intricate relationship between the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and other independent regional Emissions Trading Systems (ETS). While extensive research has been conducted on the economic and technical aspects of ETS linking, the political drivers and barriers have received relatively less attention. To address this gap, the book draws upon international relations theory, existing research, and qualitative fieldwork to introduce a comprehensive range of political conditions that influence linking.

The book specifically analyzes the role of political leadership and stakeholder activity in three distinct linking activities of the EU:

Failed Linking Attempt: EU ETS-California Cap-and-Trade Program
Successful Linking Treaty: EU ETS-Switzerland Emissions Trading System
Agreed-Upon but Not Realized Link: EU ETS-Australia Carbon Pricing Mechanism

Through an in-depth examination of these examples, the author concludes that linking activities are not solely driven by technical challenges or economic benefits but are also heavily influenced by domestic interests, structural aspects, and external international political developments. The book offers valuable insights for scholars and policy-makers engaged in climate policy and EU environmental politics, providing a comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics that shape ETS linking.
