Amcanion cyffredinol

This module looks at changing approaches to governance that have occurred over the last fifty years. We consider changes in both social and environmental governance – discussing for example, welfare reform and public service provision, as well particular aspects of natural resource management, like water privatisation. We focus in on the rise of what has been described as a ‘neoliberal approach’ to governance, which is associated with an increasing emphasis upon market-led approaches, a rise in privatization and the devolution of controls and responsibility away from central government. The module explores the history and rationales behind these changes, along with the consequences. Here we explore a range of global case-studies, seeking to evaluate what forms of governance are most effective, and on what terms. For example, is nationalised or privatised, or community-led, provision of services more effective, equitable and environmentally sound? We will discuss the changing role of the State and non-State actors, alongside the different forms of power and social behavioural changes that have become evident across society. Resistance, opposition and alternatives to such changes will be also be covered – including social movements in Europe and Latin America. The module will introduce students to key concepts from social-theory and political-ecology, enabling them to better link questions of social, political and environmental change.

Cynnwys cwrs

Key topics will include: • Characteristics of neoliberal governance and ‘Neoliberalism’ • Different rationales for changing approaches to governance (across social and environmental issues) • Different approaches to securing power • Changing social norms and behaviours • The interface with environmental change, governance and politics. • Key concepts from social theory and political ecology to explore the above

Case studies to explore the different dimensions and impacts of governance change including: • Privatisation – of resources such as water, energy and social housing • Welfare reform • Deregulation and devolvement of State power and responsibilities (e.g. for environmental protection) • Commodification and the creation of new markets e.g. ‘ecosystem goods and services’ • The rising influence of the financial sector in new areas (e.g. food markets and agricultural securities). • New enclosures – including forms of contemporary land grabbing. • Resistance – how and why neoliberalisation is being contested and rejected.
