Introduction

SEEP (Socio-Ecological Economics and Policy) provides its students with an interdisciplinary understanding of value conflicts, societal complexities and barriers to and opportunities for a social-ecological transformation. Traditional disciplinary approaches to analysis and policy formulation are no longer enough to address these complex issues. Instead, alternatives are needed that come from learning to think 'outside the box'.
