Nature Policies

"The overall objective is to provide students with the basic knowledge necessary to understand international environmental policy and the main paradigms that underpin it: international environmental agreements and commitments and their implementation in the Global South; actors on the international stage, including the role of donors and the strategies of environmental NGOs; and the standards and instruments they seek to promote."

By the end of the module, students will be able to identify and compare the main paradigms and schools of thought necessary for understanding environmental policies and the instruments implemented at the international level and in the Global South. They will be familiar with the key players on the international stage—in particular, the rationales of donor agencies, as well as the strategies of environmental NGOs—and will be able to analyze the behavioral patterns at play in relation to environmental issues, drawing on the key principles developed by management science and international environmental politics.
