Bernie Sanders with Green New Deal

Description Description

1. Choosing a problem: Bernie Sanders with Green New Deals Your first task is to choose a specific problem related to the GND and, using the lens of ecological economics, carefully explain why it is a problem. Carefully review the syllabus, then prepare a paragraph describing the problem. (1 page) 2. Problem Statement and causes: Once you have chosen a problem, you must do an extensive literature review to see what others have written about it, then use this literature review to describe the problem. In the context of this course, problems are trends or states that are unsustainable, unjust, or inefficient, and can be affected by policy. Topics you might consider in writing your paper include: Who is affected by the problem? What are the consequences? What will happen if the problem is not addressed? When developing a problem statement, it often helps to start with a fairly broad problem, then narrow it down to the very specific problem you plan to address. Your problem statement should have extensive references from quality sources, with an emphasis on peer reviewed journals. Your next step is to clearly explain the specific causes of the problem. For example, what institutions contribute to the problem? Do some individuals or groups benefit, and if so, do they have the power to thwart solutions? Are the physical characteristics of the resources involved relevant (e.g. rivalry, excludability, spatial distribution)? How does the problem relate to sustainable scale, just distribution and/or efficient allocation? This must be no more than 1200 words, which requires you to be very concise.
