I would second this. Our school's approach, including admissions requirements, are based on students enhancing their knowledge of physical and biological sciences, as well as a strong emphasis on policy and governance (from perspectives of political science, economics, law, anthropology, sociology and so son).

Dean, Yale University's School of Forestry and Environmental Studies
Please distribute widely ** DEAN OF THE SCHOOL OF FORESTRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Yale University's School of Forestry Environmental Studies (FES) seeks outstanding candidates for the Deanship of the School. FES is more than a century old, and recognized worldwide as a leading institution for forestry, environmental science, industrial environmental management, environmental policy, environmental social science, and related fields, teaching and research being carried out by nearly 40 academic faculty and frequent distinguished visitors. The School will move into Kroon Hall, designed as a LEED-platinum building, at the end of 2008. FES has a widely-acclaimed doctoral program and a large Master's program (one of the oldest in the country in this field), and it shares coordination of Yale College's new undergraduate Environmental Studies major. The school has a global orientation, as reflected in its involvement in a number of areas of global research and its active recruitment of international students, who comprise nearly one-third of the student body. FES plays a central role in Yale University's widely recognized activities in environmental scholarship, education, and operations. Yale's Office of Sustainability is internationally recognized as a leader in these areas, and the University is among the few organizations of any kind to have made a firm commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to pre-1990 levels. Candidates for the Deanship should have demonstrated strong capabilities for leadership, as well as a record of scholarship in a suitable area of forestry or environmental studies, either in an academic setting, the non-governmental sector, or a government agency. Extensive international experience and an international perspective are desirable, as is a record of leadership in multidisciplinary research and in graduate and undergraduate education, and a record of successful funding for research and institutional development. Applications should include a letter of interest, a complete CV, and a list of three references. All information should be sent to Robert Burger, FES Dean Search Committee, Office of the Provost, Yale University, 1 Hillhouse Ave., P.O. Box 208365, New Haven, CT 06520-8365, USA. Inquiries can be sent to the committee at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Applications received by September 15, 2008 will receive full consideration. Yale University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. Men and women of diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds and cultures are encouraged to apply. Women and minority candidates, as well as candidates from developing countries, are particularly urged to apply.

Global fisheries management
Hi Geped, We've added this year a section on fisheries for our class on International Environmental Policy and Management (Graeme Auld is TAing) We're spending time on both the problem and the institutions that are evolving to address them. I have two questions 1) Do you know of any videos out there that I might show in one class that would nicely and graphically illustrate the problems? 2) What are your recommendations for an article or book that nicely brings a focus to the institutions that have developed to address them? Thanks in advance, Ben (and Graeme) Ben Cashore, Professor Environmental Governance Political Science Director, Program on Forest Policy and Governance School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Yale University 230 Prospect Street, Room 206, New Haven, CT 06511-2104 203 432-3009 (w); 203 464-3977 (cell); 203 432-0026 (fax); www.yale.edu/environment/cashore; www.yale.edu/forestcertification

RE: Theory in International Environmental Politics
-mail? The 4th edition of Global Environmental Politics (forthcoming from Westview Press in December) tries to cover this more than the earlier editions did. I also think that David Downie has covered some of this in Regina S. Axelrod, David L. Downie and Norman J. Vig, The Global Environment: Institutions, Law and Policy, 2nd Ed. (Washington, DC: Congressional Quarterly Press, 2004) Pam ** Pamela Chasek, Ph.D. Director, International Studies Assistant Professor, Government Manhattan College Riverdale, NY 10471 USA tel: +1-718-862-7248 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Neil E Harrison Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 12:50 PM To: Geped list (E-mail) Subject: Theory in International Environmental Politics Gepeders: The recent discussion of bibliographic entries for an Encyclopedia of Green Movements made me think about the ideas that drive gathering of empirical data. I usually have taught the International Environmental Politics class inductively, from case studies with encouragement to the students to think theoretically in drawing generalized conclusions from multiple cases. This latter part of the process is entertaining but not always very fruitful even with my prompting. Perhaps they need some examples of 'meta-theory' in the issue area to chew on much as students in a security course would be fed realism. Do you have any suggestions for a good statement or survey of directly relevant meta-theory for students of international environmental politics to digest?
