IDCE 30233 - Economy and Environment

Type of Course: Lecture, Discussion
Environmental problems are largely the result of economic developments and human settlement patterns. This course involves the examination of different types of economies, various institutional forms and constraints, and cultural features that have environmental implications. Of particular importance are the types of futures that people envision, and the sorts of economic features that must be developed to achieve desirable (or sustainable) futures. Ecological modernization, political and social ecologies, voluntary simplicity, industrial ecology, small entrepreneurial economies, and other discourses/practices will be examined for their economic and environmental implications.
