Course Aims

By examining how the international community addresses global environmental challenges, this course will take students to explore the multi-disciplinary environmental studies in both theory and practice. Through discovery-enriched approaches, learning activities will provide students with different chances to analyze various efforts by international stakeholders (state, NGO, industry, civil society, etc) to tackle severe environmental challenges. Students will develop case profiles that link theory with empirical studies and present their own understandings in class discussion both individually and as a group. They will also learn how to analyze relationship between economic growth, international trade, transition in life styles, energy shortage, environmental degradation, institutional transition, and social development.
