Political Science 347: Environmental Protection and Institutional Change
4.00 Credits
Allegheny College
(also listed as Environmental Science 347) An inquiry into how key elements of core U.S. institutions (e.g. the market, the State, the corporation, public education) frame and confront environmental issues, and how impediments to thinking creatively about these institutions exacerbates problems of environmental sustainability and responsive democracy. We pay particular attention to the State: what it is, why it may be a useful unit of analysis, how and why (from competing theoretical perspectives) it chooses to confront environmental ills, and how citizens can most effectively influence it. Although the organizing case study for the course is U.S. environmental policy, students generally interested in analyzing core U.S. institutions with any eye to influencing them will find the course useful.

States to be considered include China, the European Union, Germany, India, Japan, Canada, and the United States.
