Environmental Issues in Development

Same as SOC 370.
This course examines issues of environment in the context of development. It includes both the technical aspects of environmental studies and the social and cultural dimensions, linked through the notion of sustainability. Case studies include examples where development has led to the deterioration of the environment, or where it has enhanced it. Major issues include the question of water supply (scarcity) in the Nile Valley and in Palestine, urban pollution, nuclear energy, global warming and the ozone layer, tourism and development. The course takes social, cultural and political factors into account.
