Syllabus suggestions for course on environmental policy research

[Alexander Gard-Murray]

Hi everyone,

I'm designing a new undergraduate course this year on environmental policy research.  The course is centered around a semester-long project in which students collaboratively write a policy brief for a commissioning NGO.  The topic of the commission is distributed energy technologies and their contribution to grid robustness.

As they work on the project, I'll be providing them with some grounding in environmental policy, policy analysis, and the politics of policymaking.  I'm planning on using Bardach's "A Practical Guide for Policy Analysis" as a foundation, but I'd love to get any suggestions people have for particularly good readings in these areas.

As usual, please reply directly to me rather than to the whole list, and I'll compile the replies and send them out.

Best,
Alexander
