1.- familiarise students with
1.1.- the complexity of the international legal and political framework to protect the high seas (i.a., UNCLOS, RFMOs)
1.2.- the package elements of the BBNJ treaty (a) access to and the sharing of benefits deriving from marine genetic resources (MGRs),b) the establishment of area-based management tools (ABMTs), including marine protected areas (MPAs), c) the process of conducting environmental impact assessments (EIAs), and d) capacity building and the transfer of marine technology (CBTMT)).
1.3.- concepts and approaches to analyse global environmental negotiations (i.a., roles of states, knowledge types in regime formation)
1.4.- empirical methods to study global environmental politics (i.a., collaborative event ethnography, digital ethnography, interviews, social network analysis)
2.- guide students in the design of their own empirical research in relation to the BBNJ treaty and negotiation processThe course targets master students with an interest in global environmental politics, disputes over international legal order, political ecology, and marine issues.The method of the course consists of
• short lectures and introduction to the topics of the course,
• reading of academic literature,
• preparation of sessions,
• writing of short summaries,
• group work during the course,
• short students’ presentations,
• writing of final seminar paper
• discussions.
