| Sumario: | Since the end of the Cold War, the relationship between international security and the environment has been subject to intensive policy concern, scholarly debate, and research. "Contested Grounds" brings together many of the best known researchers on this emerging topic as they present sharply conflicting views on the relationship between the environment and security and conflict. The book puts the contemporary debate in historical and theoretical perspective by demonstrating the important, but overlooked, role that environmental factors have placed in historical developments and in earlier geopolitical theories. The contributors present diverse and often conflicting answers to three questions: What are the relationships between environmental change, degradation and protection and traditional natural security concepts and organizations? How useful are security concepts and organizations in mobilizing political responses to environmental problems? What role do environmental factors play in stimulating international conflict and cooperation? |
