The students will be able to critically assess how the integrative dimension of the ‘sustainable development' paradigm made its way into public policy tools and their legal determinants.
This course aims to provide the students with:
- an understanding of the role and of the rule of law in the protection of ‘qualitative values', such as environmental protection;
- an ability to understand the responsibility and capacity of a wide array of actors in that transition;
- the necessary background to discuss the relevance of a large range of current policy instruments, based on case studies.
