This comprehensive textbook provides a student-friendly survey of the global politics of the environment, focusing on security studies. It is organized into three thematic sections:
The first section explores the theoretical and practical arguments for and against integrating environmental and security issues. It examines why certain environmental challenges are perceived as national security concerns, particularly in the context of overpopulation, resource depletion, climate change, and the military's role in addressing pollution and natural disasters.
The second section delves into the historical and contemporary framing of environmental issues as matters of national security. It examines how these concerns have evolved, including the role of international organizations and agreements such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Climate Change Accords.
The third section advocates for treating environmental change as a matter of human security. It explores the interconnectedness between human well-being, environmental sustainability, and national security, highlighting the need for a holistic and integrated approach to address these complex challenges.
The chapters in this book have been updated to reflect recent developments, including the Trump administration's withdrawal from the Paris Climate Change Accords and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. Additionally, a new chapter on environmental history is included to provide a broader context for understanding the relationship between humans and the environment.
This textbook is an essential resource for students of environmental studies, critical and human security, human geography, development studies, and International Relations in general. It offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of an area of great academic and political interest, equipping students with the knowledge and tools to address the complex challenges of our time.
