| 851-0609-06L | Governing the Energy Transition  Primarily suited for Master and PhD level. | 2 KP | 2V | T. Schmidt, L. P. Fesenfeld | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | This course addresses the role of policy and its underlying politics in the transformation of the energy sector. It covers historical, socio-economic, and political perspectives and applies various theoretical concepts to understand specific aspects of the governance of the energy transition. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | - To gain an overview of the history of the transition of large technical systems - To recognize current challenges in the energy system to understand the theoretical frameworks and concepts for studying transitions - To gain knowledge on the role of policy and politics in energy transitions | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | Climate change, access to energy and other societal challenges are directly linked to the way we use and create energy. Both the 2015 United Nations Paris climate change agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals make a fast and extensive transition of the energy system necessary. This lecture introduces the social and environmental challenges involved in the energy sector and discusses the implications of these challenges for the rate and direction of technical change in the energy sector. It compares the current situation with historical socio-technical transitions and derives the consequences for policy-making. It introduces theoretical frameworks and concepts for studying innovation and transitions. It then focuses on the role of policy and policy change in governing the energy transition, considering the role of political actors, institutions and policy feedback. The grade will be determined by a final exam. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | Slides and reading material will be made available via moodle.ethz.ch (only for registered students). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literatur | A reading list will be provided via moodle.ethz.ch at the beginning of the semester. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | This course is particularly suited for students of the following programmes: MA Comparative International Studies; MSc Energy Science & Technology; MSc Environmental Sciences; MSc Management, Technology & Economics; MSc Science, Technology & Policy; ETH & UZH PhD programmes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 857-0103-00L | Topics in Public Policy: Governing the Energy Transition | 8 KP | 2S | L. P. Fesenfeld, T. Schmidt | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | This course addresses the role of policy change and its underlying politics in the transformation of the energy and other climate and sustainability-related sectors. It focuses on political perspectives (while also touching on historical and socio-economic perspectives) and applies various theoretical concepts to understand specific aspects of transition governance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | - To gain an overview of the history of the transition of large socio-technical systems - To recognize challenges for transformative policy change and to understand the theoretical frameworks and concepts for studying transitions - To develop own research question and address it in research paper that demonstrates knowledge of the role of policy and politics in transitions | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | Climate change, access to energy and other societal challenges are directly linked to the way we use and create energy. Both the recent United Nations Paris climate change agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals make a fast and extensive transition of socio-technical systems necessary. This course introduces the social and environmental challenges involved in the energy sector as a key sector in need of transition. It compares the current situation with historical socio-technical transitions and derives the consequences for policy-making. It then focuses on the role of public policy and policy change in governing complex socio-technical transitions, considering the role of political actors, institutions and policy feedback. The course has a highly interactive (seminar-like) character. Students are expected to actively engage in the weekly discussions and to give a presentation (15-20 minutes) on one of the weekly topics during that particular session. In addition to the weekly lectures, students will write a research paper of approximately 6000 words, guided by and in collaboration with the lecturers. Active participation in the seminar (15%) and the presentation (15%) will form one part of the final grade, with the research paper forming the rest (70%). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | This course is intended for the MA Comparative International Studies programme in the category research seminars. Students will have to participate in the course 'Governing the Energy Transition'. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 860-0100-00L | Doctoral Colloquium in Public Policy Only PhD students. Permission from lecturers is required. | 1 KP | 1K | L. P. Fesenfeld, T. Schmidt, T. Bernauer, B. Steffen | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | In this colloquium, doctoral students present their research plan within the first year of their doctorate, which is reviewed by three professors affiliated with the ISTP and commented on by the other doctoral students registered in the colloquium. We recommend attending the colloquium for two semesters and present the research plan in the second semester. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | Obtain feedback on research ideas for the doctoral research plan and get the research plan approved by three faculty, as required by ETH Zurich. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | Doctoral students (typically affiliated with the ISTP or groups of ISTP members) attend this colloquium for one to two semesters. During the first (voluntary) semester they present their preliminary research ideas. During the second (obligatory) semester, they present their draft research plan, which is reviewed by three professors affiliated with the ISTP. The research plan should not be longer than 20 pages (references excluded). The second semester will be credited with 1 ECTS. All students are required to read and comment on their peers’ research ideas and plans throughout both semesters. The results of the review are submitted to the doctoral committee of D-GESS or other ETH departments where ISTP-affiliated doctoral students intend to graduate. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
