Liberalisation and Sustainability in the Case of the Liberalisation of the Electricity Market in Switzerland
نویسنده
چکیده
Based on the example of the liberalisation of the electricity market in Switzerland, we investigate the relation of liberalisation with sustainability. The plebiscite on the electricity market law prospectively taking place in September 2002 will be crucial for this process. Besides the relation of liberalisation to sustainability, based on the contents and aims of these two concepts, we describe how sustainability can be seen as a regulative principle and how this helps to become aware of where the discussion is dominated by normative arguments, and how this insight may help to judge liberalisation in a transparent way.
