| Course description |
This course examines environmental policies and politics in Europe, with
particular emphasis on the European Union (EU) and international
agreements. Following an introduction to different analytical
approaches for understanding environmental policy, the course explores
key actors and dynamics shaping national environmental policy and
politics. The knowledge of national differences will be the base from
which to study the EU's unique role in shaping national and
international environmental policy. The final weeks will concentrate on
international agreements and current debates.
