How has the Obama administration been consistent with the Bush administration regarding the issues of the global commons identified in the text (population growth and family planning, global warming, and sustainable energy)? How has Obama differed from his predecessor in addressing these issues? How have other domestic and international issues affected these efforts?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers to this question will vary widely but should identify the Obama administration’s approach to each issue and how it is similar or different than the Bush administration. Examples of obstacles to the Obama administration’s efforts may include partisan politics, health care reform, the global financial crisis, the Arab Spring, and continued debates over abortion policies.
