POLS 4344 Environmental Political Theory
This course explores competing definitions of “the environment,” different understandings of human’s relationship to the environment and how politics defines that relationship. The course will begin by examining the leading contemporary perspectives in environmental political theory and then turn to the problem of climate change and its social, political, and environmental repercussions where we examine important recent responses to these issues from the perspectives of the market, democracy, sustainability, and various forms of green radicalism.
