STIA 419- Energy and Environment in Eurasia by Professor Theresa Sabonis-Helf

This course will focus on the role played by energy and environment in the evolution of the successor states to the Soviet Union. The energy portion of the course will examine the challenges faced by energy-poor states in their transitions, as well as the very different challenges faced by oil and gas-rich successor states. The environment portion of the course will examine the Soviet legacy of persistent pollutants and “national sacrifice zones” and how the states have attempted to address them, as well as the transboundary pollution problems. The course will also review the role played by the successor states and the international community in attempting to improve the environment in this region, the emerging challenges posed to the region by climate change, and the resource management challenges (particularly in water) faced by these states.

Thursday

November 11 and 18, 2:00-4:30 p.m. EST

GOVT 560 – Corruption vs Good Governance by Professor Jodi Vittori

This class examines what governments are expected to provide their citizens today so we can better understand where corruption leads to perceived governance failures. It explores how different so-called syndromes of corruption manifest themselves in different types of states, as well as comparing and contrasting four leading theories of governance and corruption.

November 11, 18, and December 2, 3:30-6 p.m. EST

GHD 636 – Climate Change and Development by Professor Shantayanan Devarajan

This course will cover: (1) Climate change and its impacts: what we know, what we don’t know; (2) Adapting to climate change (assuming carbon emissions continue with the baseline scenario); (3) Mitigating climate change: What developing countries can do.
