This unit explores the relationship between our economy and environment. It compares different ways of understanding this relationship including environmental economics, ecological economics, Marxist ecology and eco-feminism. Students will learn how these schools diagnose environmental problems as products of market failures, limits to growth or social inequalities. Students will examine different policy solutions for creating more sustainable economies, such as market mechanisms, steady state economies and environmental justice. Students will apply debates on the political economy of the environment through case studies of issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss and water scarcity.
