POLS 467 teaches students the fundamental distinction between ethics and law, as well as the applications of that distinction to various political issues in the international arena. This semester, particular (but not exclusive) emphasis falls on climate change and other environmental issues. Class begins on Tue Aug 22nd. Full access to the Moodle site will be available a day or two before then. No advance preparation is required for the first day of class. The Moodle site, when finished, will host all the required readings for the semester, as free downloads, plus the course syllabus and other important documents related to our work.
