| Course Content Basic economic principles to study forest and natural resource utilisation are applied. A first step is defining the resource services in question and how to model such services. They may be categorised as renewable (e.g., forest) or non-renewable (oil, mine), and some of them may even be recyclable. Once the resource is valued and modelled an important question to the management of the resource is whether a policy is economical efficient and fair (equity criteria). And which policy tool mix would direct the resource use towards one that satisfies such criteria and still maintain its political feasibility? The course aims at providing tools for making such assessments. We apply forestry as one example of a renewable resource and expand to other resources such as fisheries, land use and biodiversity. Besides fundamental policy terminology the course gives you an overview of the policy process and the policy environment. You will become familiar with the principles of forest policy and legislation as well as deficiencies that constrain their implementation. Based on this understanding, you should be able to critically assess the causes of failure and success in a political and legislative context. You will become familiar with basic policy sciences including policy analysis tools such as stakeholder analysis, advocacy coalition framework, and power analysis.
