ENVS 208 - Environmental Policy

First Semester.  Humans modify natural and built environments.  Environmental policy is the attempt to regulate the consequences and scope of such changes.  From antiquity rules governed land use and resource exploitation.  Today elaborate institutions function as the place where political and economic power intersects with environmental science and the public interest.  Our focus will be this intersection in the U.S. in the context globalization of all four of these elements: politics, economics, science, and public interest.  Identical to POLT 208.
