Zusatztext Taxation is at the heart of governance, yet equitable tax reform is a daunting challenge. This authoritative study, drawing on cases across the globe, unpacks the creative strategies used by citizen groups. What coalitions do they form? What capacities do they need? When--and why--do they sometimes succeed? With rich, detailed narratives, this book provides a pathbreaking analysis of this vital subject. Informationen zum Autor Paolo de Renzio is Senior Lecturer at the Brazilian School of Public and Business Administration of Fundação Getúlio Vargas (EBAPE/FGV) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Klappentext This open access book examines how civic organizations can influence tax policy and administration in ways that benefit ordinary citizens, through in-depth case studies from a wide range of countries including France, Guatemala, Kenya, Mexico, Philippines, Uganda, and the United States. These cases demonstrate the ways in which civic coalitions have crafted convincing narratives and used creative strategies to change the political incentives of policymakers and yield more equitable tax reform. The cases cover a wide range of types of tax reform, from taxes on specific items like fuel, tobacco and mobile money applications, to personal and corporate income taxes. They also highlight the use of a variety of approaches by civic actors-such as media campaigns, advocacy with legislators, and strategic litigation-to influence policy. These examples, covering a range of lower and higher income countries, across many aspects of tax systems, give us useful examples to build on, demonstrating that citizens everywhere can influence tax policy and ultimately secure fairer societies.
