Current Faculty
Each year, three faculty members are selected to teach in the honors program. For our faculty, it is wonderful opportunity to teach a seminar to a small group of highly motivated and especially talented students. This year, the seminars will be taught by Professors Aseem Prakash, Bryan Jones, and James Caporaso.
Aseem Prakash
Autumn, 2004 - aseem@u.washington.edu - http://faculty.washington.edu/aseem/
Aseem Prakash (Ph.D. Indiana University-Bloomington), Assistant Professor, joined the department in 2002. He studies international political economy, environmental policy and management, and voluntary regulation. The first component of his research addresses issues concerning the impact of globalization on governance. He has co-edited three books, Globalization and Governance (Routledge, 1999), Coping with Globalization (Routledge, 2000), and Responding to Globalization (Routledge, 2000), and published several articles. He is working on papers that examine business-NGO contests on intellectual property rights and variations in biotechnology regulation in the US and the EU.
The second component of his research focuses on environmental policy issues. His papers examine firms' responses to voluntary environmental programs -- Responsible Care, ISO 14001, the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme -- in the US, UK, and Germany. His recent book, Greening the Firm: The Politics of Corporate Environmentalism (Cambridge University Press, 2000), examines why firms selectively adopt beyond-compliance environmental policies. He is working on a book project that examines how mandatory regulations influence firms' quote responses to ISO 14001 across countries and within U.S. states. His second book project examines how U.S. forest and paper companies choose from competing private systems of forestry certification, namely, NGO-sponsored Forest Stewardship Council and industry-sponsored Sustainable Forestry Initiative. He is scheduled to teach three courses in 2002-2003: International Political Economy, Globalization and Public Policy and World Politics.
