RE: Request: Recent Publications on the US and/or China in Global Environmental Politics?
My recently published book, Global Environmental Negotiations and US Interests (Palgrave Macmillan, 2006), may be of interest to you. It specifically covers global forest policy, the ozone case, and climate change. Debbie Davenport Deborah S.

Sonnenfeld Sent: Monday, February 12, 2007 10:20 PM To: GEP-ed Subject: Request: Recent Publications on the US and/or China in Global Environmental Politics? Dear colleagues, I will be co-teaching a graduate short-course on the U.S. and China in Global Environmental Politics, in the NL in May. The expected participants will be master's and Ph.D. students from the NL, elsewhere in Europe, and from around the world. My colleagues and I are compiling a reading list of current as well as earlier articles and books related to this topic for use in the class. ***If you have published an article or book related to this topic in the last few years, I would appreciate it if you could tell me about it.*** I would be happy to share what I learn with the list. We are interested in materials addressing both 'domestic sources' of these nations' engagement in GEP, as well as analyses and case studies of those engagements themselves. If you'd like to learn more about the course, please see the following link: http://www.sense.nl/?module=coursesfunc=displayplannedplanningid=938 Thank you very much Kind regards, David P.S. In part, this course will build on one I taught three years ago, also in the NL, on American Environmental Politics. Suggestions from this list were very helpful in teaching that course much appreciated. The earlier course is archived at: http://www.tricity.wsu.edu/aep/index.htm . --- David A.

FYI... CIDER Consortium for Inter-Disciplinary Environmental Research at Stony Brook University In October, 2006, Stony Brook University announced the creation of a new center, the Consortium for Inter-Disciplinary Environmental Research (CIDER). This initiative was undertaken to bring together the many faculty at the university from diverse disciplines, housed in many departments, to create synergistic collaborations that could address large, complex environmental issues. The participants (faculty, postdoctoral investigators, and graduate students) in CIDER are formally associated with existing academic departments at Stony Brook University, including departments in Arts and Sciences, Engineering, the Medical School, and the Marine Sciences Research Center. However, all participants also see the value in working across disciplines, not necessarily reflective of traditional academic separations, to form multi-disciplinary teams of researchers that can tackle the complexities of large environmental problems. Thus, individuals in the natural and medical sciences combine with social scientists and engineers to pursue large research programs. Such teams are required to develop new research centers for environmental research at Stony Brook, and as well provide new and exciting educational opportunities for the next generation of environmental researchers. Currently CIDER has opportunities for a total of six new tenure-track positions in all disciplines. http://ws.cc.stonybrook.edu/cider/opportunities/index.html Consortium for Inter-Disciplinary Environmental Research (CIDER) New Tenure-track Positions Stony Brook University invites applicants for six new tenure-track positions associated with its new Consortium for Inter-Disciplinary Environmental Research (CIDER), designed to bring together faculty from the natural sciences, medical sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities. Individuals with demonstrated expertise in any of the following areas are encouraged to apply: (a) environmental health, including investigations of contaminants in air, food and water, mechanistic studies of their toxic effects on mammals and their societal impact on different subpopulations; (b) the causes and influence of global climate change, including effects on biogeochemical cycles, pattern of disease and human living conditions and (c) environmental remediation, land use planning, and conservation. Applications from individuals or from teams that address any of these research areas are welcome. A successful candidate will hold a tenure track or tenured appointment in an academic department that best suits his/her expertise; affiliation with nearby Brookhaven National Laboratory is also possible. Faculty will be expected to teach at the undergraduate and/or graduate level, generate external funding to support their research and participate in interdisciplinary activities to support CIDER's mission. Required: Ph.D. or M.D., outstanding research and teaching potential. Positions generally will be filled at the Assistant Professor level, however applications from exceptional established individuals also will be considered. The review of applications will begin on February 1, 2007 and will continue until all six positions are filled. To apply, please send a resume; a statement of research and career goals; the proposed Stony Brook University departmental affiliation(s); and arrange to have three letters of reference sent to: CIDER Search Committee Positing number F-3755-06-12 Stony Brook University Stony Brook, NY 11794-1401 For on-line applications visit: www.stonybrook.edu/cjo , posting number F-3755-06-12.
