Sociology for sustainability and analysis of global processes

The teaching module "Institutions and public action for sustainable development" will provide theoretical and conceptual tools to answer the following questions: What are the public institutions involved in policies for sustainable development (SvS) in Italy? How can the institutional grammar of this policy area be reconstructed? What is the regulatory framework in which the SvS strategies of territories and non-public actors are defined? In particular, public actions for sustainable development will be read starting from three key words: regulate, communicate, act sustainability. The final part of the module will explore the relationship between sustainable development and the One Health approach.
