Dersin Amaç ve İçeriği
| Course Objectives: | This course aims to analyze state structures, the capitalist world economy, environmental organizations and social movements as well as their interaction in a global geography which all affect the politics of the environment. In other words, these actors on the global scene have differing and often conflicting views on what the problem is and what to do about it. Thus, environmental politics is controversial as well as vital. It is also global in nature as environmental problems recognize no national borders. At the same time, a lot of the environmental issues are manifested locally, generating local environmental conflicts. This course will offer a political ecology framework within which to understand all of these issues while introducing the students to relevant concepts and debates such as the tragedy of the commons, the global commons, sustainable development, ecological modernization, risk society, deep ecology, North-South issues and ideas of nature and progress. |
| Course Content: | Environmental degradation has intensified. We have a climate crisis on our hands. Environmentalists are concerned about pollution, conservation, ecosystem destruction, natural resource depletion, and climate change all of which threaten our planet and future life on earth. State structures, the capitalist world economy, environmental organizations and social movements and their interaction in a global geography all affect the politics of the environment. In other words, these actors on the global scene have differing and often conflicting views on what the problem is and what to do about it. Thus, environmental politics is controversial as well as vital. It is also global in nature as environmental problems recognize no national borders.
