Course Description:
The course analyzes the domestic and global politics of how countries in the Global South are dealing/preparing to deal with climate change and its effects. We will discuss the particular challenges that climate change presents to countries across the Global South characterized by weaker institutions, lower state capacity, and scarce economic resources. Using countries and subnational units in the Global South as case studies, we will discuss issues: how interest groups shape mitigation and adaptation strategies, why citizens support climate denialists, and how different political regimes (autocracies vs. democracies) approach climate change. We will also study the global and domestic aspects of environmental injustices created by climate change and the world's current mitigation and adaptation strategies. |
