This is a course to develop your comparative policy analysis, policy-focused research dissemination, team work, and presentation skills. In the contemporary world, it has become common to look to other countries for policy lessons. We will work on the topic of energy policy in international comparison, and in particular at the social and employment policy implications of the shift to renewable energy. In the period between 2018-2020, the levelized cost of solar and wind power has become lower than fossil fuels and nuclear for around 70% of the world’s population, and electric vehicles are proliferating. While this is good news for climate change, it has devastating implications for employment in sectors reliant on fossil fuels, such as coal mining and oil extraction, shipping, automobile manufacturing and especially parts, utilities, fueling stations, car dealerships and repair. Students will research policy and compare solutions to the socio-economic problems which will emerge this in different countries. This occurs through group research, and policy presentations. Each student will write a short policy brief with recommendations.
The course is a core MA course in Social and Public Policy, who have priority enrollment. Other students are welcome based on available space; there will probably be space. The course will be taught in English in Period 3, if there is demand for it, otherwise in Finnish. Regardless of the language of instruction, the written assignment can be completed in English or in Finnish, at the option of the student.
While the topic may seem interesting to the casual student, please keep in mind that this is a core MA level course with specific skill learning goals, and the workload is relatively high. Furthermore, it is group work, which can be done remotely, but please only enroll if you are committed to doing the work, as others in your group will be counting on you.
