ECOLOGICAL ECONOMICS IDARI TRAINING PROGRAMME

Transcription

1 ECOLOGICAL ECONOMICS IDARI TRAINING PROGRAMME School of the Environment Dr Sigrid Stagl University of Leeds Ph Leeds LS2 9JT, UK Fax July Introduction The main areas covered in this course are: The basic assumptions of ecological economic analysis; analytical frameworks applied by ecological economists; and institutional arrangements suggested for sustainable development. The course draws on contemporary economic thought as well as material from such fields as evolutionary biology, ecology, nonequilibrium systems theory, social psychology and environmental ethics. You will undertake independent research within the overall structure of a reading list, seminar and lecture plan. Aims To understand the relationship between economic, social and biophysical systems; To appreciate the interdisciplinary approach for the analysis of environmental issues; To become familiar with the analysis of energy and material flows in the economy; To understand the ethical, social and behavioural foundations of human well-being; To have a critical awareness of the issues relating to environmental valuation (incl. role of discounting and incommensurability of values). Form of teaching 5 x 3 hours of integrated lectures and discussions and 5 x 2 hours exercises. You are expected to take an active part in the discussions and exercises. For this course you will write one individual essay (2,000-2,500 words) and contribute to a group project. The course leader will suggest topics for both tasks, but each student/group can make a case for other topics related to contents covered in this course. Day Time Topics Mo 21 July 9-10:30 History (and Meaning) of Ecological Economics 11-12:30 Ecological Principles Exercise: Read an article critically and draw a mind map Tue 22 July 9-10:30 Transferring Ecological Concepts into Economics 11-12:30 Economic Growth and Thermodynamics Exercise: Estimating Environmental Kuznets Curve Wed 23 July 9-10:30 Sustainable Development 11-12:30 Natural Capital Exercise: Fish Bank Game Thu 24 July 9-10:30 Values and Behaviour 11-12:30 Uncertainty and Risk Exercise: Multicriteria Evaluation Fri 25 July 9-10:30 Participation and Institutional Change 11-12:30 Ecological Economics and Integrated Rural Development Exercise: Vensim modelling

2 Preparation and Participation You are asked to read the key texts and a choice of the other texts. For the latter, you can choose them according to your interests and background, but I encourage you to read as many of these texts as possible. When interacting with your readings you should maintain a journal in which you criticize the texts, develop questions and discussion ideas, and develop ideas for your essay and group project. For the critical review of the readings try to develop a structure, i.e. some questions which you ask yourself about each text. The following questions are indicative and you may want to refer to them when writing your journal. 1. What is the subject matter or focus of the readings? For example, is the focus substantive, theoretical, or some combination? Does the reading deal with a specific empirical problem or a conceptual issue? Integrating ideas from different disciplines? 2. What is the question, argument, theory or perspective of the readings? Is it vague or is it clear? Is it implicit or explicit? 3. What is the research method (or rather research design) used in the readings? Is the method appropriate? Is it well used? 4. What type of evidence is used? How appropriate and adequate is the evidence? 5. What are the findings and conclusions? Are they defensible in light of method and evidence? 6. What are the assumptions or preferences (explicit or implicit) on which the particular research is based? 7. In what ways could the research be improved (given its intellectual and political priorities)? 8. In what ways do these readings converge, differ or complement each other or other relevant material you are familiar with? Form of Assessment Students' performance will be evaluated through two elements 30% group exercises (10% each; deadline - tba) and 70% individually written essay (deadline tba). Main Books Bergh, J.
