The major aim is to acquire basic knowledge, concepts and ideas to consider real world policy problems from a political science perspective.
The course is structured along for major modules which introduce basics in political science terminology, approaches and theories. The basic concepts are illustrated by real world cases from the domains forest, environmental and natural resource policy. This approach strives to integrate “theoretical” elements with cases or real world politics.
