This year, the Governing Council approved a proposal for three sections (ALIAS, Environmental Studies, and Human Rights) to create Working Groups during the conference.
The ESS Working Group theme is “Governing the Environment”. Recent environmental studies scholarship has produced much insight into rules governing human behavior and its impact on the environment. We know quite a bit about international negotiations, regimes, and organizations setting boundaries for the behavior of states. Similarly, comparative scholarship has produced a wealth of knowledge on domestic environmental regulations. In addition to such IR and comparative inquiries, a more recent branch of research studies rule-making by non-state entities such as firms and NGOs. Given this proliferation of thinking in analytically distinct dimensions of environmental rule-making it seems necessary to compare notes across these bodies of scholarship and explore what we have learned about rules regarding the environment. How may they differ depending on the rule-maker? How may they interact with (or contradict) each other?
We are currently soliciting information for the next edition (Fall 2008) of the ESS newsletter.
We welcome submissions about section news, publications, websites, job and funding opportunities, announcements and upcoming conferences and meetings.
Please send your items by email to cusa [AT] uci.edu by Friday, September 26, 2008.
As part of the ISA compendium project (see http://www.isanet.org/compendium/) I am conducting a study to examine
syllabi in the field of global environmental politics at colleges and universities. This study will make an important contribution to our understanding of how we teach and what we teach in this field. All syllabi will be kept confidential and anonymous. Data collected will be presented in the aggregate. If you would be willing to have your syllabus included in this study, please click this link, read the informed consent form, and signal your agreement to participate; and Email the syllabi to: krogers [AT] @fielding.edu.
