About the course
Aim
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- Critically analyse environmental politics and governance as concepts and practice
- Compare forms of governance and politics instruments in environmental politics and their application
- Map actors and arenas of environmental politics
- Account for processes of environmental politics on international, transnational, and national levels, and interactions between them
- Apply theoretical perspectives on environmental politics and governance
Content
The course addresses central perspectives on environmental politics and governance. The course maps actors in environmental politics, such as the state, international organisations, civil society, and the private sector and analyses their roles, interplay, and political priorities. The course takes its starting point in interstate agreements that have been negotiated to solve transboundary environmental and sustainability issues, e.g., climate change. Furthermore, the course analyses the development of new forms of governance on the borderline between private and public actors, such as public-private partnerships, emissions trading, and certification schemes, and their significance for the content and direction of environmental and sustainability politics. The course also addresses the emergence of new environmental and climate movements and their potential to spur political change.
