Disposal Cost

Extended Producer Responsibility Policy is an environmental policy firstly implemented in OECD countries. The policy enables the producers to extend responsibility for the products to the waste disposal stage of the life cycle after consumption. The EPR policy of OECD countries is functioned on the products sold in these countries and the producers. As OECD countries are the main exporting market of Chinese business, some of them will certainly be influenced by the policy. As China’s environmental problems have become crucial, we needs to learn from the experience of OECD countries, and enable the producers to bear the waste disposal cost to reduce consumer waste emissions.

Substantial Change

Recently, Israel has undergone several changes in its environmental policy. This paper reviews the shift in environmental policy, from regulatory-based instruments to more flexible economic instruments in Israel. A substantial change has taken place in this respect over the last few decades in many OECD countries. In recent years, environmental policy in Israel has been going through a similar change, in part due to the recent accession to the OECD. Yet, Israel still lacks the use of certain main economic tools, such as greenhouse gas emissions trading and carbon taxes, which are available in many OECD countries.

Distributive Conflict

The power resources approach, underlining the relevance of socioeconomic class and partisan politics in distributive conflict within capitalist economies, is challenged by employer-centered approaches claiming employers and cross-class alliances to have been crucial in advancing the development of welfare states and varieties of capitalism. Theoretically and empirically these claims are problematic. In welfare state expansion, employers have often been antagonists, under specific conditions consenters, but very rarely protagonists. Well-developed welfare states and coordinated market economies have emerged in countries with strong left parties in long-term cabinet participation or in countries with state corporatist institutional traditions and confessional parties in intensive competition with left parties.
