POL 322

Environment, Development, and Sustainability

In this interdisciplinary course, students explore the built-in tension that exists between the essential ends and means of economic development, on the one hand, and the well-being of human individuals, their communities, and their environments, on the other. Students spend much of the course playing and critiquing their own performance in Stratagem, a computer-assisted simulation game, in which they assume the roles of government ministers in a less developed country and try to chart a course of sustainable development for that country over a period of at least 60 years.
