国际关系哲学博士-国际环境与资源政策

资源使用的快速增长以及土地的加速转换以养活和容纳不断增长的人口已经造成了一系列新的跨界和全球公地问题。在过去的30年中，国际社会通过实施数百项双边协议，试图扭转渔业，森林和物种的丧失，大气和气候的破坏，土地，空气和水的退化以及有毒物质在全球的分布。和多边协议。这些条约和软法宣言中的许多对国家政府施加了全新的责任，并为国家之间以及与私营部门和非政府组织之间的关系创造了新的方法。该方案展示了环境和资源问题如何在正在进行的经济发展过程中不可或缺，并且对于社会安全至关重要。强调了科学在制定合理政策中的作用，以及技
The rapid growth of resource use and the acceleration of land conversion to feed and house an expanding population have created a new set of transboundary and global commons problems. During the past 30 years, the international community has attempted to reverse the loss of fisheries, forests and species, the disruption of the atmosphere and climate, the degradation of land, air and water and the global distribution of toxic substances by implementing hundreds of bilateral and multilateral agreements. Many of these treaties and soft law declarations impose totally new responsibilities upon national governments and create new approaches to the relationships among states and with the private sector and non-governmental organizations. The program demonstrates how environment and resource issues are integral to the ongoing economic development process and are critical to the security of societies. The role of science in developing sound policies is emphasized, as is the role of technology choice and the policies that influence them. Clashes such as those that occur between trade and environmental treaty regimes, forest protection and sovereignty and between developed and developing countries create new challenges for international diplomacy. The program emphasizes the need to utilize multiple disciplinary tools from science, economics, politics, law and engineering in developing sustainable solutions. Students are required to take P250: Environmental Problem Solving as the core course for the field. P250 requires completion or co-enrollment in either B205: Data Analysis and Statistical Methods or E213: Econometrics.
