The Status And Future Of Methane Destruction Projects In Mexico, Elizabeth L. Aldrich May 2008

The Status And Future Of Methane Destruction Projects In Mexico, Elizabeth L. Aldrich

Elizabeth Lokey Aldrich

Of the Clean Development Mechanism projects that exist in Mexico, methane destruction projects from hog farms dominate the landscape with 56% of the projects developed and 49% of the Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) that will be generated within the country by 2012. These biodigesters, however, have experienced many technical difficulties that place their future viability for the production of CERs and continued development in question. Because of these challenges, future methane capture in the country may focus around other agro industries or landfills.

Global Governance Organizations: Legitimacy And Authority In Conflict, Jonathan Koppell Dec 2007

Global Governance Organizations: Legitimacy And Authority In Conflict, Jonathan Koppell

Jonathan GS Koppell

Global governance organizations (GGOs) are frequently maligned as both illegitimate and ineffective. With the growing prominence of entities that promulgate global rules governing trade, communications, finance, and transport, these shortcomings take on greater importance. This essay presents a theoretical framework to understand the challenge of legitimacy for GGOs. It argues that GGOs tend to face trade-offs between legitimacy and authority, but that widespread usages of these important terms conflate or confuse them and thus obscure critical issues in GGO politics. Once these terms are more clearly defined, we see more easily that GGOs must sometimes violate democratic norms, sacrificing equality …

The Inter-University Case Program: Challenging Orthodoxy, Training Public Servants, Creating Knowledge, Ryan Yeung Dec 2007

The Inter-University Case Program: Challenging Orthodoxy, Training Public Servants, Creating Knowledge, Ryan Yeung

Ryan Yeung

The list of individuals who participated in the Inter-University Case Program (ICP) reads like a who’s who list of public administration titans. In one form or another, scholar-practitioners like Dwight Waldo, Paul Appleby, Harold Stein, and Frederick C. Mosher played a part in the success of the program. This article examines the ICP with an epistemological eye. The era of the ICP was a period when scholars thought that the complexity of government prevented the development of general administrative principles and also prevented the use of conventional scientific methods to generate knowledge in the field. They believed instead that the …

Interaction Of Compliance And Voluntary Renewable Energy Markets, Lori Bird, Elizabeth L. Aldrich Dec 2007

Interaction Of Compliance And Voluntary Renewable Energy Markets, Lori Bird, Elizabeth L. Aldrich

Elizabeth Lokey Aldrich

In recent years, both compliance and voluntary markets have emerged to help support the development of renewable energy resources. Compliance markets are primarily driven by state renewable portfolio standards (RPS), which require utilities or other load serving entities to procure renewable energy for part of their electricity supplies. Voluntary markets differ in that they provide consumers with the option to purchase or support renewable energy for a portion or all of their electricity needs. We refer to this as the voluntary market or the “green power market” because these renewable energy purchases are made on a voluntary basis, driven largely …
