【Course Objectives】

The student in this class should learn to:
understand key environmental challenges in the 21st century; appreciate the political, economic and social context of environmental policy and disaster management, recognizing different actors, values, and institutions; discern the importance of the complex interaction between science and politics in environmental policy making and disaster management; identify and discuss different roles played by formal/informal actors/institutions in the environmental policy process and disaster management;
identify and compare different policy instruments/tools in dealing with environmental issues, which include command-and-control regulations, market-based tools, and voluntary environmental programs; appreciate the importance of collaboration/cooperation in environmental or disaster management among public agencies and between the public and private sectors; understand newly emerging environmental governance, discerning the critical roles played by non-governmental actors in the domestic as well as international settings; and understand the importance of local knowledge and initiatives in dealing with environmental problems at various levels.

【Course Contents】

This class is designed to expose students to major debates over environmental policy process and disaster management in the developing as well as developed countries with a focus on the way that different political, economic, institutional, social, and cultural factors play out to shape environmental policy/politics and disaster management. For this purpose, the class applies theories of the public policy process into environmental policy/politics and disaster management. Specifically, the class addresses key policy issues conspicuous in each of the stages of the environmental policy process and disaster management, covering problem definition, policy formulation, decision-making, implementation, and evaluation/learning. While key relevant environmental and disaster issues are covered such as clean water and air, toxic and hazardous material, climate change, biodiversity, deforestation, and energy, different policy tools/instruments for dealing with environmental protection and sustainable development will be introduced and debated. A major theme of the class will be that environmental policy and disaster management is at the crossroad of differing/conflicting values and interests both of society and across countries, which typically go beyond technical rational analysis. To drive the point home, students will read and discuss a variety of case studies from developing and developed countries. They will also write a short case study on an environmental policy or a disaster management issue in their respective countries.
