Environmental Governance
Lecture: MW 1:25-2:15, Labs: W 2:30 or 3:35.
S. Wolf. Spring.
Participants in the course will explore the roles of governments, markets, and collective action in environmental management and mismanagement. We will exphasize interactions among leading environmental policy strategies: public regulation, market-based incentives, and community-based resource management. Empirical examples of governance arrangements from different parts of the world, different historical periods, and different ecological contexts (e.g., forestry, fisheries, agriculture, land use planning, urban air quality) will highlight opportunities and constraints.
