* The comparative discussion of different analytical frameworks from social, economic and political science perspectives.
* The provision of methodological knowledge and skills for the context sensitive design and management of the environmental governance process.
The programme does not limit itself to a special regional context, but focuses on environmental governance processes in a representative worldwide perspective from local to international level.
