教育目標

This course is about how political institutions, interests and ideologies shape environmental policy. Examples from major areas of environmental concern, such as air and water pollution, preservation of natural habitat, and climate change are used to illustrate how political institutions respond to local, regional and global threats to the environment. In the first part of the course we diagnose the challenges we face in addressing the ever growing impact of humanity on nature. We explore: choices made at the individual and corporate level that lead to social costs in terms of environmental degradation the range of policy options available for reshaping the choices made by individuals and corporations factors that distort the political response to environmental degradation In the second part of the course we will consider ways to resolve these dilemmas of power and choice. Through case studies, we will consider a wide range of possibilities. We will enhance our perspective on the challenges we face by studying the struggles of China, the world’s other largest source of pollution. In the third part of the course we will introduce the roles and functions of the environmental NPOs. For better understanding of environmental policy, we will apply the “participatory environment planning & design”, and “open space technology (OST)” to explore the problems and solutions of chosen case among classmates. By our participation and deliberation, we expect to engage the chosen community and give reform strategies.
