Strategic Environmental Management Analysis

Strategic Environmental Management Analysis (SEMA) is a theoretical framework for analyzing a management situation based on a clearly expressed environmental concern. It sheds light on the exercise of environmental responsibility in relation to the exercise of other collective responsibilities, within the framework of a pluralistic debate. By identifying the basic structures of environmental management situations, particularly in international contexts, it provides the criteria that explain the difficulty of environmental public policies to emerge in relation to other areas of public action - in particular development policies - and that enable us to identify the room for manoeuvre to encourage changes to take greater responsibility for environmental problems. The module is based on two key points: (1) the presentation of various research-intervention projects using this analytical framework, in order to explain the implementation of the ASGE work registers, (2) a supervised project combining the critical analysis of environmental project documents with the development of an alternative research-intervention study proposal using the ASGE framework, which is presented and discussed collectively at the end of the module.

Know how to mobilize Strategic Environmental Management Analysis in the context of intervention in both European and developing countries. Students will be able to diagnose an environmental management project, compare different environmental management models, approaches and doctrines implemented in the field, and critically analyze them. They will be able to structure environmental project information into a strategic analysis focused on ecological performance. In particular, they will be able to specify the normative benchmark to be reached, analyze the deviation from this objective, and compare the specific efforts made with the resistance to these efforts by sectoral policies. Finally, on this basis, they will be able to propose an alternative intervention or research-intervention project using the framework of strategic environmental management analysis.
