International and Global Studies Global Environment - Brandeis University

International and Global Studies Global Environment from Brandeis University is a Campus Bachelor Enviroment degree that prepares you for a Science career. Environmental pollution increasingly transcends state boundaries, defies national remedies, and requires international solutions that presuppose global governance to ensure implementation. This specialization seeks to explore the dynamics, problems, and responses to these profound changes in the global environment . It offers a close study of the patterns and dynamics of ecological change, drawing upon scientific assessments of the magnitude of these changes and their impact on the environment and public health. It also examines efforts to deal with these problems, at both the state and international level, with particular attention to the history of measures and movements seeking to minimize the ecological impact while ensuring an acceptable level of growth. Just how significant is the ecological change? What kinds of solutions have historically been applied by individual states and the international community to address these issues? How can societies and the international community ensure growth but do so in ways that minimize the negative side-effects (from greenhouse gases to chemicals in the food supply)? What reasonable measures can be taken to ensure biodiversity? What are the alternative visions for environmental sustainability and improvements in global health? What are the global politics of environment and what have been the key agents in shaping policy (including transnationals, from corporations to NGOs like Greenpeace)? What are the implications of HIV-AIDS, which is, without parallel, the most devastating disease in the world and threatens the lives and economic welfare of entire nations? * Special Requirements: There are two suggested foundational courses for students in the Global Environment track. 1.
