Consider the following questions...
 How does society make collective decisions regarding the environment?  What role do the  legislature, elections, courts, interest groups, and social  movements play in the  environmental policy process? How does  environmental policy making differ in different  countries? Can the  international system respond effectively to global environmental  challenges?  Is politics part of the problem or part of the solution?

 If you want to learn more...
 Then the ENSP Politics & Policy concentration may be for you. The  concentration gives  students the tools to analyze these and related  questions. Politics & Policy is one of eleven concentrations within the  Environmental Science and Policy (ENSP) undergraduate major. The  concentration  focuses on politics--as both a source of environmental problems and the  setting in which policy responses are framed and developed. The  concentration is designed  to give students a detailed understanding of the  forces shaping political behavior, the nature  and workings of political  institutions, and the ways in which both domestic and international  structures shape and constrain environmental policy responses. The Politics  and Policy  concentration provides a useful foundation for careers in a range  of public policy settings,  including government service, advocacy groups,  business settings, and intergovernmental  organizations. The concentration  also prepares students for graduate study in law, public  policy, public  administration, or political science.
