Zuordnung im Vorlesungsverzeichnis
Letzte Änderung: Do 21.03.2024 16:06
The course presents climate change, the energy transition, and the drive towards sustainability as utmost pressing issues of our times. Therefore, it emphasizes on current academic debates which, in turn, aim at mirroring different priorities among stakeholders and the expert community. In this context, ‘development’ emerges as a contested, and context-dependent discourse which is increasingly crashing into the notion of sustainability. The complex interactions between the quest for global sustainability and the pursuit of national development and their global and local impacts on society and nature are approached from a holistic perspective as international negotiation institutions are increasingly being challenged and the political economy of natural resources extraction is reshaping worldwide.
It is expected that by the end of the course students will have strengthened their capacities for both critical debate and empirical analysis of core questions relevant to (sustainable) development in general and the climate change-driven energy transition in particular. In order to attain this objective, the lecturer will present the topic of each session with emphasis on the corresponding concepts and theories as well as the empirical content of assigned readings (selected journal articles and book chapters provided by the lecturer in advance). After the lecturer’s presentation, students will be expected to actively participate in a plenary discussion on the topics of the session. A main component of the evaluation will be a written essay on key concepts and theories of the course applied to the students’ own inputs, interests, contexts, and previous or current work. During the draft of the essays, students will be accompanied by the lecturer’s advice.
