LOCATION:London School of Economics\, Tower 2\, Room 9.04
DESCRIPTION:<h4><strong>Grantham Seminar introduced and chaired by Dr. Robert Falkner</strong></h4>
<h4><strong>This seminar starts from the puzzling observation that two countries from the global South (Costa Rica and Vietnam) with different political systems in terms of their state-society relations and historical records of national green politics have both produced ambitious formal commitments towards substantial green transformations across the economic\, ecological and social dimensions.</strong></h4>
Thus the seminar will (1) analyse the role of different change agents - focusing in particular on the state and its bureaucratic apparatus - in this process and will (2) ask under which conditions formal commitment is actually turned into substantial action and (3) trace trade-offs and barriers at various scales towards effective policy implementation. Special attention will be paid to the role of national elites\, state bureaucracies and state-society relations. The lecture will thus theoretically build on older work of the developmental state analysing and critically discussing more recent work on environmental authoritarianism.
