The field of environmental security has matured in response to improved scientific understanding of the causes and trends of global environmental change. Research conducted in the past two decades has grappled with this core set of questions in a variety of ways, generating findings and hypotheses that have stimulated considerable intellectual and policy activity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume takes stock of the research, and organizes it into a framework, described in the first chapter of the volume, that clarifies its achievements as well as identifies its weaknesses and gaps. This is followed by seven chapters representing the various ways in which environmental change and security have been linked, and including the principal critiques of this linkage. A third section explores six key issue areas: water, population, development, food, energy and climate change. The book concludes with a chapter on the future of environmental security.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rita Floyd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415538998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415538992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.99h x 6.95w x 0.89d","brand":"Rita Floyd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064931201279,"sku":"9780415538992","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5d0752f4-19dd-4933-8a82-14574d6c43db.jpg?v=1768671998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/environmental-security-rita-floyd-9780415538992","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
