The aim of the course is to examine environmental change as a problem of governance.

Under de senaste decennierna har det blivit allt tydligare att mänskligt driven resursanvändning och miljöförändring orsakar föroreningar, förlust av biologisk mångfald och klimatförändringar i en skala som äventyrar jordens beboelighet. För att förstå och förklara dessa miljö- och hållbarhetsutmaningar krävs teoretisk och empirisk kunskap om varför politiska åtgärder hittills varit otillräckliga Over the past decades it has become increasingly clear that human-driven overconsumption, pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change endanger the habitability of the Earth. Environmental politics involves the study of green political theories, green movements and parties, international agreements and environmental policies. Planetary politics is characterised by eco-centric planetary relatio

Föreställningar om makt har under lång tid haft en undanskymd roll i litteraturen kring miljöpolitik och miljöpolitisk förändring. Kursen sammanför dessa teman. En sådan kombination är lärorik av flera skäl. För det första ger tillämpningen av olika teoribildningar och maktbegrepp en rad perspektiv som bidrar till att förklara och förstå miljöpolitisk styrning, och det ger också insikter om centrFor a long time, the question of power has played a minor role in the literature on environmental politics and transformation. This course brings together these two themes. Such a combination is instructive for several reasons. First and generally, applying different theories and their concepts of power provides a range of perspectives for explaining and interpreting environmental governance - an

Maskininlärning handlar om statistiska prediktioner som förbättras genom erfarenhet; modellen lär och anpassar sig allt eftersom nya data blir tillgängliga. Exempelvis priset som en matvarubutik kan ta ut av en leverantör för en annons beror på hur bra den är på att hitta de kunder som är benägna att köpa leverantörens produkter. På samma sätt är det pris som Google kan ta ut för en annonslänk dirMachine learning refers to statistical model predictions that that improve through experience; as new data arrive, the model learns and adapts. For instance, the price that the supermarket can charge for advertisements depends critically on its ability to learn from the data which customers that are likely prospects for a particular supplier’s product. Similarly, the price that Google can charge f
