All, I am teaching my International Environmental Politics course again this term and have a few tools that may be useful to others teaching this term or in the future:
a) Course website generally: http://pages.uoregon.edu/rmitchel/iep/ b) My lecture notes are all at: http://pages.uoregon.edu/rmitchel/iep/lectures/ -- though they go up only as I finish them. Please feel free to use them as the foundation for your own lectures, but I would appreciate it if you mention my name if you do. c) If you want to have students analyze the effectiveness of international environmental institutions/treaties, I have finally put together a list of treaties that contains links to the . treaty text, . membership list . secretariat website . related treaties (protocols, amendments, predecessors, successors) . a few articles (if you know of some for particular cases, let me know) . and, most important, for each a "performance indicator" Excel files with well-organized multi-year/multi-country data on what has happened to the pollutant, fish catch, or whatever, that the treaty tried to regulate. d) [Warning: shameless self-promotion] if you want to review my IEP textbook, there are sample chapters at http://pages.uoregon.edu/rmitchel/iep-text/ e) Finally, a video of Steve Schneider from 10 years ago teaching a course on the Science/Policy interface. As many of you know, Steve died this past summer but his legacy lives on: http://disccrs.org/files/SchneiderInMitchellClass.mpg Best, Ron Ronald Mitchell, Professor Department of Political Science University of Oregon, Eugene OR 97403-1284 <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <http://pages.uoregon.edu/rmitchel/> http://pages.uoregon.edu/rmitchel/ Lead PI, DISCCRS: <http://disccrs.org/> http://disccrs.org/
