 There are probably a lot more, but these are some of
 the places in  
 Europe that immediately come to mind with good
 environment and/or  
 economics departments. Since the harmonization of
 European  
 univsersities that has occurred over the last 5-10
 years, almost all  
 European universities have programs for visiting
 students from  
 foreign universities, and in most cases there are
 plenty of courses  
 with English as the language of instruction. Outside
 of Europe I am  
 less familiar, but the Australian National
 University, National  
 University of Singapore, and University of Cape Town
 all come to mind  
 as being excellent.

  Hi all,
 
 
 
  A student of mine has asked me to recommend study
 abroad programs  
  that combine environmental studies with economics
 (his two majors).  
  Does anyone have recommendations along these
 lines? I’m having a  
  hard time coming up with rigorous study abroad
 options in  
  environmental or ecological economics.
 
 
 
  Thanks, and apologies for cross-postings.

climate change policy in Japan and Australia

2007-11-14 Thread Steven Bernstein
Dear GEPeders,

I am having my students do a climate chage simulation and a couple are
having trouble finding good recent analyses of the policies of Japan and
Australia (domestic or foreign policy).  They have searched the usual
sources, plus the country reports available through the UNFCCC.  I'm
wondering if anyone has either written anything themselves or knows of
any good book chapters or articles on the policies of these countries.

Thanks,
Steven
