Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
NPI and PI: The students are able to explore concepts for maintaining or
improving the biophysical basis of economic activities by use of market-based, command-and-control and voluntary measures. They compare the neoclassical economic approach to environmental policy with concepts from institutional and ecological economics. The students can apply political science concepts for assessing different designs of environmental policies in the areas of air, water, soil and sediments. They are able to assess the interdependence of multiple levels of environmental governance (z.B. global, European and national levels).
