Objectives
Non-state actors supposedly play an important if not dominant role in many, most or all policy fields. In the perspective of much research on global governance, non-state actors today do not only influence policy output via the traditional channel of lobbying. Rather, many scholars argue that non-state actors influence policy and politics in a much more comprehensive way. Specifically, non-state actors influence and set agendas and rules by exercising material and ideational, agentic and structural power. In this seminar, students analyze the role of non-state actors in a set of specific policy contexts deriving from different policy fields in global environmental politics and international political economy. The seminar’s aim is to provide them with a sound basis for a critical understanding of the extent and channels of political influence of different non-state actors in policy and politics in a globalized world.
The seminar will be organized as a project seminar. Students will work in teams on a given topic over the course of the term. The process is clearly structured and the project teams will be provided with input before and feedback after each step. The aim of this process is to provide students with a good training for the preparation of papers and master theses.

In order to allow for an intensive working experience, enrollment in the seminar is limited to 25 students.
