HIST-227 Environment and International Relations
International relations are inseparable from the natural environment. Whether it’s claiming access to land and resources, responding to natural disaster and disease, or crafting foreign policy, the natural world both shapes and is shaped by interactions among state and non-state actors. Lectures and discussions in this historically focused course will explore the environmental underpinnings of international relations through topics such as food and agriculture, energy, foreign aid and development, and climate change.
