• Making Sense of Corporate Environmentalism (2007, background): “The EU and Japan are the two Kyoto Protocol signatories most active in implementing policies that will generate the emissions reductions needed to meet their Kyoto targets (Christiansen & Wettestad, 2003; Fisher, 2004).”
• Multinationals' Political Activities on Climate Change (2007, background): “Policymakers have mainly responded to corporate lobbying of Europe’s largest emitters to ensure their participation (Markussen & Svendsen, 2005), because they provide the necessary trading volume and liquidity for the EU scheme to succeed (Christiansen & Wettestad, 2003).”
• Instrument constituencies and the supply side of policy innovation: the social life of emissions trading (2014, background): “(Christiansen and Wettestad 2003, p. 7) An important step towards gaining wide acceptance for carbon trading in Europe was to raise environmental policy professionals’ interest in the new instrument.”
• The European Emissions Trading Scheme: An exploratory study of how companies learn to account for carbon☆ (2009, background): “The European Emissions Trading Scheme can be regarded as a major policy innovation (Voß, 2007a) that diffused from the United States to various European states and finally to the European Union at a surprising speed (Braun, 2009; Christiansen & Wettestad, 2003; Wettestad, 2005).”
• The Brave New World of Carbon Trading (2009, background): “Strong opposition from industry and key member states blocked this approach throughout the 1990s and the original proposal was withdrawn in 2001 (Christiansen and Wettestad 2003: 6).”
