Handbook on the Politics of Taxation
Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-78897-941-2 (ISBN)
The Handbook explores the historical evolution of modern tax systems, contemporary tax politics from a comparative perspective, global tax politics from an international relations perspective, and the formation of tax policy preferences of taxpayers, voters, business associations and parties. Expert contributors analyse the foundations of the field of research and focus on key debates, including the links between colonization and taxation, international cooperation against tax evasion and avoidance, and the taxation of financial transactions.
The Handbook on the Politics of Taxation will be a vital resource for academics and students of public finance and public policy. Its exploration of tax compliance and voter preferences will also be beneficial for practitioners and policymakers in these fields.
Edited by Lukas Hakelberg, Post-Doctoral Researcher, Otto Suhr Institute of Political Science, Freie Universität Berlin and Laura Seelkopf, Professor for International Comparative Public Policy, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany
