DSPO 25A23 - Environmental Politics — Fabrique des Maquettes Pédagogiques

Informations

Descriptif

The objective of the course is to explore the articulation between environmental attitudes and worldviews and how they contribute to shape green political action in a context of imminent global ecological crisis (global warming, threats on biodiversity, scarcity of resources). The course covers a diversity of social sciences approaches from anthropology to political science and sociology: how conceptions of nature shape our attitudes to its enjoyment, understanding and exploitation; the challenges to environmentally friendly public policies at the national, the European and the international levels, including; the role of individuals from collective mobilisation to the emergence of the “citizen-consumer”; the parliamentary and the extra-parliamentary strategies of environmental movements and of the counter-movements, in the EU and beyond.

Pré-requis

Students are required to come prepared for every session, having read/watched/listened to the references listed on the syllabus. They are also expected to write a short blog post for each session, which allows them to reflect on their readings and preparations for the session. The blogs foster reflexivity and eventually contribute to clarify learning outcomes and progress. Preparation makes it possible to participate in class exercices.
