Credits: 3 Prerequisites: None Corequisites: None Type: LEC Focuses on the relationship between environmental problems and the political process. Explores definitions of an environmentally sustainable society. Then we attempt to answer the question of how to get there from here. This involves developing a theory of social change by examining a number of case studies. We study local environmental controversies from a political perspective through firsthand involvement or guest speakers. We also look at national environmental conflicts, such as the backlash against mainstream environmentalism created by the Wise Use movement and contemporary political forces championing property rights and states rights.
