Center for Environmental Politics Events
Center for Environmental Politics seeks to play a leadership role in producing and disseminating empirical social science research on new modes of environmental politics and governance at local, regional, national, and global levels. Within the University of Washington, it facilitates the social science faculty to build connections, establish networks, and initiate truly multi‐disciplinary conversations about the political and institutional dimensions of environmental challenges. Externally, it seeks to be in the forefront of creating and nurturing a community of social science scholars committed to theoretically informed and empirically rigorous research on environmental politics and governance.The Center hosts eminent faculty located across departments/schools such as political science, geography, philosophy, and international studies. These scholars have written on subjects such as environmental regulations (governmental and non-governmental), policy implementation, environmental markets, political communication, food security, and environmental advocacy.
