PI344: Environmental Management and Policy

Course description

This course explores environmental management and policy from the perspectives of government regulators, private corporations, and nonprofit organisations. It also focuses on analysing critical ways of making environmental management and policy as conductive to innovation as possible. This will be done by providing a comprehensive understanding of government structure, organisations, decision making procedure, policy instruments, and the roles of non-state actors in the environmental management and policy. The course will use case studies to discuss the major factors, such as the institutional structure and interests and powers of the actors, which influence governments as they develop and implement environmental policies. The intent is to give students a fairly detailed understanding of difference policy approaches and different policy instruments available to policy-makers.
