The course explores the federal government's management of national grazing lands, the national forests, and the minerals in the public domain. The course further examines those environmental policies designed to protect health: clean air policy, clean water policy, and toxic waste policy. The course concludes with a discussion of the international issues of energy policy, the environment as trade issue, and the environment as an issue of national security. Cross-listed as PS 452.
