Course Description
This course is an introduction to the interaction among social, political, cultural, ecological and economic factors in the field of environmental management and is centrally concerned with understanding deliberate efforts to translate environmental knowledge into action in order to achieve particular outcomes in the way landscapes, societies and/or natural ecosystems are used and managed. The course will provide a critical survey of the contemporary field of environmental policy, planning and management. It will also consider how the objectives for land and resource use are shaped, fashioned and contested in democratic and non-democratic settings. Student’s will be tought dynamics and processes that impact ecological systems and they will understand the basic components of a sustainable development framework, study concepts of sustainable development theory and practice.
