Course Title:
ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS
Course Number:
DSPO 25A23
Course Description:
The objective of the course is to explore the articulation between environmental attitudes and worldviews and how they contribute to shape green political action in a context where the imminence of a global ecological crisis (global warming, threats on biodiversity, scarcity of resources) is no longer in question. The course covers a diversity of social sciences approaches: how conceptions of nature shape our attitudes to its enjoyment, understanding and exploitation; the challenges to environmentally friendly public policies at the national and international levels; the role of individuals from collective mobilisation to the emergence of the “citizen-consumer”; the parliamentary and the extra-parliamentary strategies of environmental movements and of the counter-movements.
