Course content
Both in Norway and internationally questions related to ownership, control and management of natural resources are important. Industries such as agriculture and forestry, fishery and fish farming, water and wind power, the oil and gas industry have in different stages and in various ways been fundamental for the development of the Norwegian economy and the welfare state, as well as district policy and the relationship between center and periphery.
The course aims to increase knowledge about the use and management of natural resources and common goods, as well as the understanding of political disagreements and conflict related to rights and control of natural resources - in both a Norwegian and a comparative perspective. This course is at the intersection between Public Policy and Administration, Political Economy and Comparative Politics, and will draw on theory and methods from all these areas.
