What are the implications of climate change for
twenty-first-century conflict and security? Rising temperatures, it
is often said, will bring increased drought, more famine,
heightened social vulnerability, and large-scale political and
violent conflict; indeed, many claim that this future is already
with us. Divided Environments, however, shows that this is
mistaken. Focusing especially on the links between climate change,
water and security, and drawing on detailed evidence from
Israel-Palestine, Syria, Sudan and elsewhere, it shows both that
mainstream environmental security narratives are misleading, and
that the actual security implications of climate change are very
different from how they are often imagined. Addressing themes as
wide-ranging as the politics of droughts, the contradictions of
capitalist development and the role of racism in environmental
change, while simultaneously articulating an original
'international political ecology' approach to the study of
socio-environmental conflicts, Divided Environments offers a new
and important interpretation of our planetary future.
