環境と開発

***Zoom URL for July 9 is given below***
As evidenced by the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, achieving a dual goal of economic development and environmental protection is widely recognized as one of the great global challenges of our time. This course aims to introduce the students to some of the major current debates around the issues of environment and development and to conceptual frameworks to analyze them. The course lectures mostly draw on the frameworks of economics (development economics and environmental economics), but the discussions will touch on a broad range of aspects of sustainable development policies not limited to economic ones.

*** IMPORTANT *** Following the campus-wide policy regarding the COVID-19 problem, the course instruction is subject to significant changes throughout the semester, including of the use of online instruction. Together with any general university announcements on academic affairs, please check this syllabus page regularly for any updates of class logistics. Also note that all lecture-related materials will be uploaded on the ITC-LMS, so that you can follow the lecture contents even if you miss in-class/video lectures. You could gain access to the ITC-LMS course website even before your formal course registration by using the "self-enrollment" function of the ITC-LMS. All the details described on this syllabus are subject to change, depending on the future developments of the COVID-19 problem. <<Current plan for April 9 and April 16>> I'll open a Zoom session for about 8:30am-9:00am (Japanese time) on both dates, so that you can test your Zoom connection on your computer. The web link for the April 9 session is given in the bottom of this syllabus (a different URL will be used for the April 16 session). Using these opportunities, I'll give a mini-lecture during the session time, which deals with extra contents for the course and whose participation is optional (the lecture slides will be uploaded on the ITC-LMS). The main lectures will start on April 23. --------------------------- <Tentative list of lecture topics> 1. What is development? Is it necessary? 2. Measuring economic growth and global inequality 3.

授業の方法
Course teaching consists of two components, the lectures and the student-led class discussions. About a half of the classes are devoted to lectures, which give the students the basics of some current major debates and conceptual frameworks regarding the environment and development. The lecture classes may include a time of short class discussion. The rest of the classes are allocated to class discussions moderated by students, which will be organized as follows: First, a group of students is assigned to be presenters/moderators on each topic of class discussion. Upon the reading of assigned materials and consultation with the instructor, they decide the main issues and guiding questions for the class discussion and inform the other students about them well before the class. At the class, the students first give a presentation outlining the issues to be discussed and then moderate the class discussion. Later (by the end of the term), each student in the group will submit a short paper (~2,000 words) on the topic they presented/moderated discussion for. The other students who have attended the sessions are required to submit a commentary on the discussion topic.
成績評価方法
Grading will be made based on student presentations and related short papers (50%) and participation in the class discussions, including submission of commentaries on the discussions (50%).
