Abstract This paper proposes to analyse the politics of markets by problematizing the boundary between markets and policy. We show that this boundary has been central in the construction of European carbon markets through the Emissions Trading System, and we put these in contrast with two other European environmental markets – the market for clean technologies organized by the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control directive and the market for sustainable biofuels organized by the Renewable Energy Directive. We use these examples to analyse the operations through which boundaries are manufactured, maintained and contested. The case of European environmental markets allows us to study the political consequences of articulating the relations between markets and policy in terms of boundary-work, and to identify potential alternatives.

为市场开辟一个领域：欧洲环境市场的边界制定

摘要 本文提出通过对市场与政策之间的界限进行问题化来分析市场政治。我们表明，这一边界在通过排放交易体系构建欧洲碳市场的过程中处于核心地位，我们将其与另外两个欧洲环境市场——由综合污染预防和控制指令组织的清洁技术市场和可再生能源指令组织的可持续生物燃料市场。我们使用这些示例来分析制造、维护和争夺边界的操作。欧洲环境市场的案例使我们能够研究在边界工作方面阐明市场与政策之间关系的政治后果，并确定潜在的替代方案。
