| Inhalt | Steering the energy transition?! This demand of a transition of energy- and climate policies towards a sustainable system poses major challenges on national and international governance: Conflicts of opposing interests, uncertainties of implementation and legitimacy of interventions as well as areas of conflicts in the multi-level system of national and international arenas affect governance efforts of energy- and climate transitions. The challenges are also reflected in the high profile of actual energy- and climate change topics in the media. Thereby, media conveys and produces public discourses. In the seminar, actual developments in the energy- and climate policy in Switzerland and other countries are analyzed from a governance perspective. What actors and what interests are important in the transition processes? Who steers what? What instruments are used with what effects? What structures and processes hinder and facilitate the political interventions? To what extend does the media pursue its own interests in energy- and climate policies? The students work out and discuss facts, background and positions of actual energy- and climate discourses based on newspaper articles and accomplishing scientific literature. |
| Lernziele | By the end of the seminar the participants will have acquired basic theoretical, empirical and methodological knowledge and skills necessary to critically analyze requirements, modes and results of governance of energy transition and have developed a critical understanding of news coverage in energy and climate policy. |
| Literatur | Relevant literature will be announced in the seminar. |
