Private Sector Development Outcomes

Private Sector-Devlp Outcomes

The public sector is increasingly unable to cover the development and investment needs that will be required to improve conditions for the over 3 billion people living in poverty worldwide or to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. In some cases, governments have also shown themselves to be unwilling to shoulder these burdens alone. As a result, we have seen an increasing role and participation of the private sector in addressing many of the world’s greatest challenges, from climate change, to education, to health. Development practitioners have many of the skills needed to effect these changes. They also have a deep understanding of the underlying social, historical and structural issues that contribute to pervasive inequality, poverty and inefficiency. However, these practitioners often lack the language, tools and methods that are most effective for collaborating with the private sector. As more development practitioners will be called upon to work in the private sector, design public/private partnerships and offer advisory services to the private sector, they will need to be armed with the appropriate tools and language. This course seeks to provide these tools in the context of a broader and deeper debate about the role of the private sector, its responsibilities and tensions as it moves into the development space.

Environmental Law and Policy in New York

New York City has positioned itself as a global leader in the fight against climate change, often serving as a model for other jurisdictions to follow. This course explores the development and implementation of environmental legislation and policy in New York City during the past two decades. It includes discussions about historical context, environmental policymaking considerations, political processes, outcomes, and the role of stakeholders such as advocates, business, industry, labor, government actors, and community. Students will gain broad knowledge of key legislation and policies related to sustainability, resiliency, energy, emissions, waste and the circular economy, transportation, water and air quality, and green space. Furthermore, students will consider how environmental justice and equity play a role in the development of legislation and policy, and assess best practices for providing equitable treatment and engaging all communities. While the focus of the class will be on New York City, students will also learn about environmental policies implemented in other jurisdictions. Introduction to Environmental Law and Policy in New York City is available to students in the Graduate Program for Sustainability Management. It is designed to provide future sustainability practitioners and others with a fundamental understanding of how legislation and policy is made, what influences this development, and how legislation and policy seek to address climate change in New York City in urban environments like New York City. Students will be able to use this knowledge to help government and public and private organizations achieve more sustainable solutions. This is a semester-long elective class that will be taught on campus. Specific competencies or prerequisites are not required. This course will be interactive and discussion-intensive, engaging students to utilize and reflect critical and analytical thinking about how environmental legislation and policy is developed and how they can create innovative environmental legislation and policy in the future. Students will participate in class discussions, think critically about policy development and assigned readings, write a reaction essay on environmental justice and equity, and present their analysis to classroom colleagues. For the final project, students will write a research report and present their report to the class, focusing on a particular environmental policy topic, identifying areas where policymaking can be improved upon and/or expanded, and developing

Politics of Policymaking: Developing Cou

This course is an introduction to the politics of policymaking in developing countries. Public policymaking- the process by which political actors make decisions on a range of policy issues – affects nearly every aspect of our daily lives, including our access to safe air, water, food, education, and healthcare. This class examines how decision-makers in developing countries choose appropriate tools and strategies to address the persistent political, social, and economic problems affecting their citizens. The motivations, challenges, resources, and outcomes of public policymaking in developing countries often differ significantly from those in developed countries. In addition, policymakers are also embedded within their own knowledge environments, which determines how they bring systematic evidence and scientific knowledge to bear upon their understanding of social problems and their preferred solutions. This course examines how contextual factors condition processes and outcomes of policymaking in developing countries. Ultimately, public policy professionals need a conceptual foundation in identifying patterns of behavior and outcomes in policymaking alongside hands-on training in tools and analysis methods that facilitate deliberation and design, ultimately, the implementation of policymaking strategies in their specific political environments. This course provides the conceptual foundation and practical tools public policy professionals need to understand and operate in their political environment.

SUMA PS6120 Equity, Policy, and Sustaina

Public policy shapes how our environment, both natural and built, is managed and regulated. Policy not only creates the infrastructure and regulatory frameworks needed to support sustainability goals, but is also critical in establishing an equitable foundation that supports individual and collective change in pursuit of those goals. This course will serve as an introduction to equity in sustainability policy: We will survey federal, state, and local policies and proposals to understand how we use policy to enhance urban resilience, mitigate environmental impacts, and also promote social and economic justice. Using an interdisciplinary approach that draws from economics, sociology, urban studies, critical theory, and more, students will develop their capacities to read and interpret policy, enhance their understanding of current policy frameworks, and strengthen their ability to engage with emerging policy developments. Building on contemporary efforts in public policy, we will use an equity lens to focus on the human dimension of sustainability. We will explore policy frameworks and dialogues that foster more equitable outcomes, increase engagement of people most impacted, and contribute to sustainability goals. As an entry point, the course will focus on policies related to climate adaptation and urban sustainability transitions, setting the stage for students to explore equity in urban resilience efforts and to examine intersections of race, class, and other social factors with access to resources. The course will be discussion-based and center participatory activities (e.g., student-led discussions, paired analyses, team exercises) designed to encourage students to consider policy issues from multiple perspectives—including identifying disparities and assessing opportunities for increasing equity in the sustainability policy sector. The course will also invite scholars and practitioners to share expertise and experience from the field. Students are not expected or required to have any previous experience with policy or law.

Crowdsourced Storytelling for Policy Mak

We will explore the role that visual evidence produced by regular people and advocacy groups plays in local and global discussions around conflict, development and human rights. We will also learn how to find, verify and weave together video and photos sourced from people and organizations around the world into compelling multimedia packages. News organizations like The New York Times have launched “visual forensics teams” and agencies like Storyful.com have burst onto the scene to help vet, verify and license videos and photo uploaded to social media. They say an image is worth 1000 words -- well, creating and leveraging video evidence is worth ten thousand press releases. This course will help you develop the skills to find and craft the compelling content you (or your organization) can use to get your message heard. Throughout the semester, we will look at the impact and implications of specific cases, as well as rights and permissions, ethics, and strategies for verifying found footage and photos.

FASHION POLICY AND THE POLITICS OF GOVER

The fashion industry is an ideal case study on how governments, citizens and international institutions attempt to limit the environmental and social impacts of complex consumer industries with global supply chains. Historically, apparel and textiles have been at the center of some of the most consequential government actions under liberal Western democracy, including the abolition of slavery and the passage of the first workplace safety and labor laws in the United States. In recent years, fashion has returned to the center of dynamic policy debates within the sustainability and social impact space.   The $2.5 trillion global fashion industry’s social and environmental impacts often evade regulation. Major brands leverage long and opaque supply chains for raw materials and cheap manufacturing costs with very little accountability. Private regulation and voluntary commitments have policed fashion for the better part of four decades, an approach that arguably has ended in failures to protect human and environmental rights. The industry’s lack of accountability has cost lives, including the notorious Rana Plaza building collapse in 2013 where 1,132 garment makers died, and now contributes to a sizable percentage of annual climate change. Profits have been pushed to the top of the supply chain while garment makers consistently toil for poverty wages, and the pollution and environmental degradation of fashion is a burden almost exclusively carried by low-and-middle income nations and communities of color that manufacture clothing and produce raw materials.   But the tide is turning. Governments are being asked to step in and regulate the fashion industry. Can effective fashion policies police international supply chains and achieve their intended aims? Might they unleash unintended consequences and in what ways? This course is an introduction to the fast-evolving space of modern environmental and labor policy as it intersects with fashion, and which seeks to incentivize more responsible business behavior in the realm of social, environmental and governance impacts. The class will use recently passed and proposed fashion social and sustainability policies as our case studies, including the New York State Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act; mandatory human rights due diligence in Europe; California’s Garment Worker Protection Act and Congress’s FABRIC Act; the FTC Green Guides and the UK CMA’s Green Claims Code; and Europe’s Waste Framework Directive, t

Impact Investing and Financial Innovatio

Impact Invest & Fin Innovation

This condensed course provides a solid understanding of impact investing and financial innovation at the intersection of public policy, development, entrepreneurship, finance, and law. We combine a theoretical approach, practical experience in emerging markets, and case studies (e.g., education in Brazil, microfinance in Mexico and India, FinTech in Kenya and Brazil). Students are expected to develop personal projects in lieu of the exam (papers or business plans). We welcome students from SIPA and other schools. Within the larger category of Sustainable Finance, Impact Investing is attracting growing interest from investors, academia, and the third sector. Impact investing allocates resources with a financial, social, and environmental return, while the impact is both intentional and measured. We analyze the latest global trends in Impact Investing, its revolutionary proposal, and its limitations. Financial innovation plays a central role in the impact agenda through innovative financial instruments such as social impact bonds or green bonds and through inclusive financial services boosted by FinTech.

Storytelling and The Art of Creating Soc

Creating Soc Impact Campaigns

Was the pro-life narrative strategy a decisive factor in overturning Roe v. Wade? After countless videos of police brutality, why did the video of George Floyd’s murder dramatically accelerate the pace of cultural and policy change? After years of campaigns to reduce teen pregnancy, how did a TV show become one of the main drivers of reducing teen pregnancy to the lowest point in recorded history?  After losing 31 state referendums, why did a new narrative approach enable the gay marriage campaign to start winning nationwide? These questions and storytelling examples are part of broader social impact campaigns that create change, combined with the right mix of strategy and narrative.  A social impact campaign creates a significant change that addresses a pressing social issue. Often, there is too little focus on the power of narrative to change behavior and drive action.  This class will explore all aspects of social impact campaigns that harness the power of “effective” stories to engage audiences and prompt action.  Additionally, we will investigate how corporations and brands develop campaigns and how they partner with the government, foundations, and NGOs.  Students will have the chance to question some leading creators/practitioners as they create their social impact campaigns.

SUMA PS6135 Art & Sustainability

Since the first Earth Day in 1970, artists have increasingly addressed ecological issues in their work. This trend has magnified greatly in the past two decades. Around the globe, artists are creating artwork that addresses the impact of loss of biodiversity, rising sea levels, extreme weather events, plastic pollution, and the fragility of our shared ecosystems. Their art raises awareness of the need to act collectively, suggesting frameworks for replacing anthropocentric and colonial approaches to nature, and amplifying the urgent need for environmental justice. In this pivotal moment of climate change, artists inspire by cultivating new narratives and giving form to the invisible or unimaginable, demonstrating how art can help awaken resolve and shape our next steps. They invite viewer participation and action, and suggest ways to make a difference. In the process, they expand our potential for empathy and agency. The cultural sector has an important role to play in shifting attitudes that would lead to developing more sustainable and equitable global futures. Artists focus on both local and global environmental issues, expanding the field of climate change communication and at times offering out-of-the-box solutions. The artists covered in the course are cognizant of the need for systemic social change in order to achieve policy change. Blurring the boundaries between art and activism, many are working collaboratively across disciplines and with various communities to address both the physical and ethical dimensions of sustainability. Others work independently to provide new visions for the future. The course is designed for people who are interested in the contribution that art can play in creating fresh paradigms.

Social Value Investing: a Framework for

Social Value Investing provides a new methodology to more effectively address some of society’s most difficult and intractable challenges. Although many of our world’s problems may seem too great and too complex to solve—inequality, climate change, affordable housing, food insecurity—solutions to these challenges do exist, and will be found through new partnerships bringing together leaders from the public, private, and philanthropic sectors. This course presents a five-point management framework for developing and measuring the success of such partnerships. Inspired by value investing—one of history’s most successful investment paradigms—the framework provides tools to maximize collaborative efficiency and positive social impact, so that major public programs can deliver innovative, inclusive, and long-lasting solutions. The course also provides students with practical insights on the ways that public, private, and nonprofit managers and policy advisors are trying to build successful cross-sector collaborations. This course is founded on a mix of management theory, tools for effective public management, and exposure to real-world situations that have challenged conventional management styles. In addition to readings from the textbook, students will prepare for weekly lectures and discussion through reading relevant articles, case studies in PDF format, and links to short video content provided on Canvas. Lectures will combine presentations, case method teaching, discussion, content provided on Canvas, group exercises, and guest speakers. You should come to each lecture prepared to engage in a lively dialogue with prepared questions.

Gender, Globalization, and Human Rights

Gender,Globalizatn & Hum Right

This course introduces students to fundamental human rights associated with gender and the global processes through which they have been shaped and reshaped. Focusing primarily but not exclusively on women’s rights and drawing on treaties, cases, programmatic documents, statistical data and other materials, we ask how gender inequalities are addressed at a global and regional level, how such commitments resonate at a national level, and how they are being challenged today. Why are specific measures are needed to protect against gender-based discrimination if human rights are putatively universal?  Does the current global gender rights framework work effectively for all those subject to gender-based discrimination?  Which points of view on gender does it incorporate and promote, and which does it  “silence”? How do factors such as citizenship, nationality, sexual orientation and gender identity, race, ethnicity, religion and class affect the protection of gender rights? How can the current global gender rights framework help address discrimination and inequality with respect to fundamental issues of personhood such as identity, bodily integrity, and the right to life? How can  it be deployed to address the implications of socioeconomic processes closely linked to globalization, such as migration or the emergence of markets in reproduction? Can it play a role in times of widespread political turmoil and of war?

New Sovereignties, New States

This graduate seminar explores the structural transformations that neoliberal reforms has sparked in weak states, focusing particularly on the tense relationship between sovereignty and governance. Due to the relatively recent emergence of neoliberalism as a form of governance, anthropologies of the state and neoliberalism have tended to focus on the dialectic between neoliberal reform-- together with its normative principles-- and resistances to it.  Given the decline of neoliberalism, however, this mode of analysis is now patently insufficient, and it needs to give way to the study of a post-neoliberal order.  In this seminar we shall analyze the nature of this order empirically, particularly in weak states.  Specifically, the seminar explores the mechanisms by which states have sought to secure or even fortify sovereignty, while neglecting or even relinquishing core attributes that had characterized modern states in the 20th century, such as policing, or the administration of justice.  While the consensus around the desirability of neoliberal reform is now past, and some of its organizing principles are in jeopardy, the form of governance that is emerging in many weak states-- a form of governance that we characterize broadly as "sovereignty without justice"-- has neoliberal reforms as its condition of possibility, and often as a key ideological referent.   By way of an engagement with recent thick descriptions of cases of contemporary state transformation, we seek to conceptualize, characterize and move toward a typology of weak states in the contemporary global ecumene.

Migration and Human Development

Migration & Human Development

International migration's substantial economic and social effects are at the forefront of today's academic discussion, international debate as well as national policy strategies. This course introduces students to the key notions, norms, and narratives of international migration from economic, legal, sociological, international relations, and normative perspectives. Students will learn about transnational livelihood strategies and channels through which migration and migrants can enhance human development especially in their countries of origin, while creating better opportunities for themselves and contributing to their communities of destination. This includes in-depth discussions of the determinants, flows and effects of emigration, immigration, return, financial and social remittances, and diaspora investment. Highlighting migration phenomena in different scenarios in the global North, as well as in the global South, the course emphasizes the agency of migrants and gender differences in the experiences and effects, as well as the role their legal status plays. It will address the root causes of migration and the protection of migrants' human, social and labor rights. The course also furthers participants' understanding of the policy responses in both, the international and the domestic spheres. To this end, it introduces students to key policies and governance schemes, including temporary labor migration programs, bilateral labor migration agreements, and diaspora engagement institutions.

Politics of Sustainable Development

Political Development

This course is designed to provide an introduction to the process of political development. It introduces a set of analytic tools based on the strategic perspective of political science and political economy to evaluate the current debates in political development and to draw policy-relevant conclusions. Throughout the course, we will discuss the political dimensions and challenges of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, along with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and their transformations as modular building blocks. First, we explore the politics of economic development: the role of leadership, political systems, and institutions in promoting growth. We study the mechanisms that underlie the persistence of poverty. Utilizing numerous country case studies, we will answer: What is political development? What explains why some countries have prospered while others remain poor, violent, or unequal? Why do we observe growth, stability and freedoms in some and not in others? Second, we will explore the causes and consequences of the state, political institutions, and democracy. What is at the root of state capacity, political participation, and other aspects of political development? What is the role of property rights and rule of law in development? How do we promote gender equality and empowerment? How do we detect and mitigate the effects of corruption? How do we foster political stability? In the third part of the course, we will focus on policies that foster stability and development. We will critically examine the effects of Western intervention in the developing world, historical legacies of slavery and colonialism, and the various tools of foreign policy: aid, democracy promotion and military interventions. We will further explore the extent to which outside interventions alleviated poverty and whether it improved public goods provision or promoted political stability.
