Dear colleagues, The Center for Environmental Policy at American University<https://www.american.edu/spa/cep/> will be inaugurating a series of “Climate Change Policy Case Studies” which will be available for download. The cases are updates to the half dozen presented in my 2022 climate policy textbook with Steven MacAvoy: Climate Change, Science, and the Politics of Shared Sacrifice (Oxford)<https://global.oup.com/academic/product/climate-change-science-and-the-politics-of-shared-sacrifice-9780190063696?cc=us&lang=en&;>. We hope you consider this interdisciplinary text for your undergraduate classes on climate policy, but whatever the case, we hope you can use this well-documented study of how special interests helped sink the Build Back Better bill, a real opportunity to kick start climate action in the US.
The case is an academic one. All facts are cited and the case tries not to “preach” but rather to allow students – who should be assigned to both positions – to make up their own minds. MA student David Williams wrote it over the course of the academic year. Steve and I noticed a lack of such cases as a broad range of climate issues emerge into day-to-day political discussions. The book features a half dozen others, on fracking, on the RWE vs. Huaraz, Peru lawsuit (fascinating), on climate justice in the “build back” after Hurricane Katrina, and on the university divesture movement, to name most of them. Our website should have additional cases by other outstanding graduate students posted by early fall on The Arctic Council, “greenwashing” in the US organic groceries industry, and on the nuclear power debate in Korea. We wanted to get this one out in time for your fall semester planning, and hope you have a great summer.
