K6ET 2005 - Political Economy and Geopolitics of the Transitions
This course is an introduction to the economic, political and geopolitical dimensions of the ecological transition. It has two objectives. The first is to give students an empirical overview of the mechanisms by which global socio-economic organization integrates (or not) the climate imperative. The second is to provide historical and conceptual analytical tools for thinking about this transition, measuring the scale of the transformations underway and the conflicts it engenders. This course begins with a series of reminders of the place of nature in modern history, then looks in turn at the economic, political and geopolitical aspects of the transition
