PIA 2164 - NATURAL RESOURCES GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Natural resource management is complex, and emerges from frameworks of governance - the rules that govern ownership in society and the political and administrative institutions that have responsibility for management of natural resources. The course will examine resource ownership and management by government, private owners, and communal property actors. Institutional frameworks reflect nature of the resource being managed, the characteristics of the community seeking to manage the resource, and historical socio-economic factors. Geographically, the course will take a global view, with regional illustrations. The course will look at the theoretical approach referred to as "managing the commons." Institutionally, the course will examine government entities, international organizations, communities, non-governmental organizations, and trade associations. Substantively, the course will look at land, soil, and forests; water and rivers; oceans, fisheries, and coastlines; energy and mineral resources; and ecosystem services, and species protection.
