ABSTRACT
This contribution analyzes the policymaking process of the carbon tax in Argentina based on the multiple streams approach (MSA). The study shows how policy entrepreneurs took advantage of a general tax reform bill to promote the idea of a carbon tax. Mainly driven by international emulation and reputational gains concerns, the carbon tax proposal successfully advanced through the government´s internal drafting process of the Tax Reform Bill, however, it faced strong opposition during the legislative decision-making process, which resulted in the adoption of a weaker carbon tax. From a climate politics perspective, the Argentine carbon tax case suggests the political limitations of an over-reliance on international reputation arguments to advance climate policy innovation. In relation to the MSA, the study highlights how policy windows can shape processes of policy innovation and the analytical convenience of differentiating the coupling processes between the agenda-setting and decision-making stages.

气候政策创新的政治:以阿根廷碳税为例
摘要
该贡献基于多流方法(MSA)分析了阿根廷碳税的政策制定过程。该研究展示了政策企业家如何利用一般税收改革法案来推广碳税的想法。碳税提案主要受国际效仿和声誉收益担忧的驱动,成功通过政府内部起草税改法案的过程,但在立法决策过程中遭到强烈反对,导致通过较弱的碳税。从气候政治的角度来看,阿根廷碳税案例表明过度依赖国际声誉论点来推进气候政策创新的政治局限性。关于 MSA,
