POL285: Environmental Politics

This unit examines the issue of the environment in Australian politics. Grounded in an introduction to green political theory, it poses questions about ecological democracy and citizenship. We consider the manner in which administrative rationality and economic rationality frame ecological priorities and policy dilemmas. Issues of federalism, the role of the law, green political parties, obligations to international protocols, and environmental issues in Asia are also included.
