Scope
This interdisciplinary seminar uses Environmental Security in a case study approach to analyze how environmental issues affect U.S. National Security. Cadets explore environmental security topics such as water, natural resource shortages, energy use and dependency, and global climate change using an interdisciplinary approach from social, political, economic, and scientific-technological perspectives. The course culminates in a student team analysis of a developing country relating environmental security issues to U.S. National Security interests. The final project includes a formal brief and written paper.
