Hi gep-eders, I’m at that point in the semester where I give my undergraduates a fairly in-depth treatment of the terms “international regime” and “international environmental regime.” I tell them that they need to know the basics of how this terminology came about since I’ll be using the word “regime” for the rest of the semester….
…but then it occurred to me that for the past few years, I’ve really not been using the word regime at all. It just sort of faded away from my in-class vocabulary in more of a fizz that a puff…not sure if this is good, bad, or meaningless, but it made me wonder about how important it is for me to be teaching “international regimes” (including elaboration of the consensus definition, etc.) in a course on global environmental politics. I have some nascent thoughts…but half of them lie in direct contradiction with the other half….so I thought it would be helpful to get some general feedback on this. Here’s my question: How much time do you spend teaching regime theory in your GEP classes, and does the amount of time you give it reflect on the importance of the concept? Apologies if I’m rehashing a previous conversation on gep-ed that I missed. All best, Charlie Chester ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EarthWeb.info <http://earthweb.info/> • Native Land <https://native-land.ca/> • he·him·his <https://www.endangered.org/pride-month-lgbtq-and-the-environmental-movement/> BCI <http://batcon.org/> • Y2Y <http://y2y.net/> • TGMS <https://telecoupledgovernance.org/> • Brandeis <http://www.brandeis.edu/programs/environmental/> • Fletcher <https://sites.tufts.edu/cierp/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
