It is now commonly asserted that climate change will
fundamentally change international relations. It has been predicted
that global warming will increase conflict within and between
states, intensify food insecurity, menace the global trading system
and unleash waves of migration. As a result governments are
beginning to incorporate these warnings into their foreign policy
initiatives. The appropriateness of their incipient responses needs
to be examined in finer detail.
This book looks at the impact of climate change on European
Union (EU) security policy. It explores how governments are
reconfiguring their geo-strategy and broader international
relations in the wake of climate change warnings. The book
demonstrates that although many aspects of EU foreign policies have
begun to change, climate security is not yet accorded unequivocal
or sufficient priority. In doing so, Youngs argues that if climate
change policies are to have significant effect they can no longer
be treated as a separate area of policy but must be incorporated
into the more mainstream debates pertinent to EU common foreign and
security policy (CFSP).
This book will be of key interest to students, scholars and
practitioners of climate change and policy, energy and
environmental policy, EU governance and foreign policy, European
studies, international relations, geography, security
studies/policy and environmental economics. "
