Course Long Title
International Environmental Policy and Politics
Course Description
Environmental issues extend beyond international borders. Because of that, finding effective, enduring solutions to environmental problems requires engaging the international political arena. Nations enter into global, regional, and bilateral agreements to address environmental problems they confront. While negotiating the international political system is important, not much can happen at this level without the consent of participating nations. Thus, domestic politics plays an important role in international environmental agreements. With this basic dynamic in mind, students examine the development of international environmental policies, their effectiveness, their shortcomings, and prospects for the future.
