Institution:

Albright College

Subject:

Description:

This course takes a look at the various theoretically asserted "dimensions" of political power asserted by traditional pluralists, radicals and post-modernists. Each shall be demonstrated by an extended look into an environmental case study. Cases range from air pollution, to protection of a wild river, to coal mining, to the exclusion of Native American notions of property and kinship with the environment. Students gain a detailed knowledge of important historic environmental struggles and a clarified working knowledge of power, one of the most important concepts in the study of politics.
