Seminar on

INTERNATIONAL POLITICS AND CLIMATE CHANGE

Fall 2007

Tuesday 1-3 pm  E51-393

Professor Nazli Choucri



This course examines the interconnections of international politics  
and climate change. Beginning with an analysis of the strategic and  
environmental legacies of the 20th Century, it explores the  
politicization of the natural environment, the role of science in  
this process, and the gradual shifts in political concerns to  
incorporate “nature”.  Following a brief review of international  
environmental law the course then focuses on the politics of specific  
international  treaties that have  contributed to the consolidation  
of  global accord in response to evidence of  climate change. The  
course concludes by addressing the question of:  “What Next?”
