  4. IGA-103*Global GovernanceJohn Ruggie

  5. As a temporary expedient while we resolve overlaps btw IGA-101 & DPI-101(PAL-110): • Students graduating in 2010 or 2011can count DPI-101 (old PAL-110), any section, as an IGA elective or foundation course. • IGA students graduating in 2011 who take and pass IGA-101 in fall of 2009 with grade of B- or better are automatically exempt from the MPP Core Requirement for DPI-101. • But DPI-101(old PAL-110) and IGA-101 cannot both be counted as IGA foundation courses. DPI-101 Political Institutions and Public Policy Matthew Baum • Please also refer to HKS course webpage.

  9. IGA-104* Managing a Living Planet: How Interactions Among Population, Health, Resources & Environment Shape the Stage of Global AffairsWilliam Clark

  10. Global policy challenges covered in IGA-104: Environment constraints on energy security… Resurgent pandemics & antibiotic resistance Competition for water in Indus, Mekong, Nile… Declining agricultural output  famine redux? Geo-engineering a climate in(to) crisis? “Safe operating space” for a living planet? (Rockstrom et al., Nature, 2009)

  11. Goals: To understand how… • the stage of global affairs is shaped by the interaction of population, disease, environment • governance institutions can be designed to guide the resulting play toward a common good • Approach: • Classic policy analysis, but supplemented with perspectives of complex adaptive systems • Team based investigations of particular issues, with results conveyed through a mix of oral presentations, class debates, policy memos. • Final “white paper” advising DM of your choice on priorities for managing living planet issues.
