Università Roma Tre

The course will address the study of the interaction between the technological, economic and political dynamics of human development and those of the natural world, from the 'first' industrial revolution to the beginning of the 21st century.
The course will focus in particular on the period 1945-2000, from which the following subjects will be analysed: the birth of associations for the conservation of the environment; the rise of ecological protest, environmentalist movements and animalism; the development of green cultures and parties in Europe; and the unfolding of the scientific and political debate on climate change. The course will focus on the Italian case: both on environmental and health emergencies in the history of the second half of the 20th century, and on the environmentalist movements and parties that arose and their political course.
