Handbook on Climate Change and International Security
This topical Handbook explores the emergence of climate change as an international security issue, the threats it poses, and the political and academic debates it has prompted. Framing climate change as a security issue, it explores the ways relevant actors, states and international organizations have conceptualized climate security and its associated threats.
The Anthropocene, Ontopolitics, and International Relations
This book addresses the ongoing need to explore the implications of the ‘Anthropocene’ rupture for the field of International Relations (IR). Bringing together a group of established and early career academics, the chapters present a range of different ways of framing our current ecological and historical context, showing how they can be used to pursue new research directions and insights in areas of study such as governance, security, and migration. For that, each author displays their own preferences for a variety of divergent terms, ranging from more mainstream conceptions of an ‘Anthropocene,’ to alternatives such as for instance the ‘Capitalocene’ or Technocene. The book pur...
Climate Change and Arctic Security
This book assesses the construction of security in the context of climate change, with a focus on the Arctic region. It examines and discusses changes in the security premises of the Arctic states, from traditional security to environmental and human security. In particular, the book explores how climate change impacts security discourses and premises as well as theoretically discussing the possibility for another change, from circumpolar stability into peaceful change. Chapters cover topics such as the ethics of climate change in the arctic, China’s emerging power and influence on arctic climate security, the discursive transformation of the definition of security and the intersection between urban, climate and Arctic studies. The book concludes with the question of whether a paradigm shift in our understanding of traditional security is possible, and whether it is already occurring in the Arctic.
The Environmental Apocalypse
This volume brings together scholars working in diverse traditions of the humanities in order to offer a comprehensive analysis of the environmental catastrophe as the modern-day apocalypse. Drawing on philosophy, theology, history, literature, art history, psychoanalysis, as well as queer and decolonial theories, the authors included in this book expound the meaning of the climate apocalypse, reveal its presence in our everyday experiences, and examine its impact on our intellectual, imaginative, and moral practices. Importantly, the chapters show that eco-apocalypticism can inform progressively transformative discourses about climate change. In so doing, they demonstrate the fruitfulness o...
Governing the Climate
Despite a growing interest in critical social and political studies of climate change, the field remains fragmented and diffuse. This is the first volume to collect this body of scholarship, providing a key reference point in the growing debate about climate change across the social sciences. The book provides a new set of insights into the ways in which climate change is creating new forms of social order, and the ways in which they are structured through the workings of rationality, power and politics. Governing the Climate is invaluable for three main audiences: social science researchers and advanced students in the field of climate change; the wider research community interested in global environmental politics and global environmental governance; and policy makers and researchers concerned more broadly with environmental politics at international, national and local levels.

Das Verhalten der USA zur internationalen Klimapolitik. Warum werden internationale Normen nicht eingehalten?
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Politik - Klima- und Umweltpolitik, Note: 1,7, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena (Politikwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Normen in der Weltpolitik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Mit seinem Statement zum Phänomen des Klimawandels im Jahr 2001, richtete der amerikanische Präsident George W. Bush das Augenmerk auf ein globales Problem, dessen Auswirkungen nun erneut im Sachstandsbericht des International Panel on Climate Change bestätigt wurden. Der zweite im März 2014 veröffentliche Berichtsteil trägt den Titel ‚Klimawandel 2014: Auswirkungen, Anpassungen und Verletzlichkeit‘. Mehrere hundert Wissenschaftler aus aller Welt haben zahlreich...
Securitizing Global Warming
This book explores the reasons for a recent securitization of climate change, and reveals how the understanding of climate change as a security threat fuels resilience as a contemporary political paradigm. Since 2007, political and public discourse has portrayed climate change in terms of international or national security. This increasing attention to the security implications of climate change is puzzling, however, given the fact that linkages between climate change and conflict or violence are heavily disputed in the empirical literature. This book explains this trend of a securitization of global warming and discusses its political implications. It traces the actor coalition that promote...
