Description: |
| The international economic system (capitalist) has demonstrated extra ordinary power in distributing goods to the farthest reaches of the globe. At the same time there is an increase in inequality and in the numbers of poor and hungry, often associated with environmental degradation. These changes are especially obvious in cities, but not limited to them. Since 1987, building on the work of the Brundtland Commission, there has been a concerted effort by the United Nations, by non-governmental organizations, by individuals, and by some nation states to explore paths of more sustainable development. This course explores varied strategies now employed to achieve sustainable development, with particular attention to less developed countries. Part of the sociology concentration and minor; the environmental studies minor; and may also be taken as an elective. Class 4, Credit 4 (offered annually) |
