PS 358 - Global Environmental Politics

(3.00 cr.)

Why is global cooperation on climate change so difficult? What assumptions, interests, and strategies are the main obstacles to successful environmental international relations? This course analyzes environmentalism and climate change in three modules: theory, policy, and activism. Students are expected to be active participants, invest time in substantial readings, and develop an independent project with an activism component. The experience of indigenous and native peoples is at the center of this course.
