Overall Educational Objective To learn the relationship between environmental problems that have become a global problem and property rights.
Course Description Attempts to limitless consumption of the world's limited resources by humans have led to global problems. These problems have reached a level that exceeds the dimensions of classical property law and the regulations regarding environmental rights regulated in constitutions. This has led to new legal, social and political problems related to the protection of property rights, as well as insurmountable legal, social and political problems such as global warming, climate change, deterioration of ecological balance, and decrease in water and energy resources. On the one hand, trying to combat these growing problems globally, on the other hand, the necessity of protecting the right to a sustainable environment in a balanced environment and using the property right in harmony with social benefit has led to the emergence of a multidisciplinary field that brings together lawyers, international relations experts, economists and sociologists.The aim of this course is to seek ways and solutions to solve the difficult problems explained above with people operating in all these different fields.
Course Description in Turkish Dünyanın sınırlı kaynaklarının insanlar tarafından sınırsızca tüketilmeye çalışılması, küresel çapta sorunlara yol açtı. Bu sorunlar, klasik anlamda mülkiyet hukukunun ve anayasalarda düzenlenen çevre hakkına ilişkin düzenlemelerin boyutlarını aşan bir seviyeye geldi. Bu hem mülkiyet hakkının korunmasıyla ilgili hem de küresel ısınma, iklim değişikliği, ekolojik dengenin bozulması, su ve enerji kaynaklarının azalması gibi başedilmesi mümkün olmayan hukuksal, toplumsal, siyasal yeni sorunlara yol açtı. Bir yandan küresel anlamda giderek büyüyen bu sorunlarla mücadele etmeye çalışmak, diğer yandan dengeli bir çevrede sürdürebilir bir çevre hakkını korunması ve mülkiyet hakkının toplumsal yararla uyumlu şekilde kullanılması zorunluluğu hukukçuları, uluslarası ilişkiler uzmanlarını, ekonomistleri, sosyologları bir araya getiren, multidisipliner bir alanın doğmasına sebep oldu. Bu ders ile tüm bu farklı alanda faaliyet gösteren kişilerle yukarıda açıklanan çözülmesi zor sorunların çözümüne yönelik yolların ve çözümlerin aranması hedefine varılması amaçlanmaktır.
