Description:
Climate change and ecological degradation are challenges that no single state can
solve alone; they require forms of cooperation that reach across borders and sectors. In this
course, we will examine the roles of international organizations, states, NGOs, corporations,
and multi-stake holder initiatives in shaping responses to climate change, biodiversity loss, and
other environmental issues. We will focus on the rise of private and hybrid governance, the
strategies of transnational environmental NGOs, and the political dynamics of cooperation and
contestation in global environmental policymaking. This seminar asks how does transnational
environmental governance work? Which actors are involved in decision-making processes, and
which are excluded from it? How do power asymmetries -between Global North and South,
states and corporations, or large and small NGOs- shape environmental outcomes? Who bears
the costs and who receives the benefits of global environmental governance? |
