EVST 2031 - Environmental Policy

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

State and national governments and intergovernmental and global entities make and implement environmental policy. This course analyzes the behavior and activities of these entities, first focusing domestically and then highlighting the similarities and differences in these phenomena on the global stage. Students will understand rationales for environmental policy interventions, common intervention strategies, and each strategy's strengths and weaknesses. They will analyze how political factors such as interest groups and ideology affect how societies select which environmental problems to address and how. Students will devote substantial attention to the implementation of environmental policies, examining how on-the-ground outcomes are influenced by science, economics, legal systems, cross- and sub-national forces, and stakeholder input. A discussion of recent innovations in environmental policy, such as collaborative management, and coming challenges, such as climate change, will conclude the course.
