This book provides the first systematic comparative analysis of
climate security discourses. It analyses the securitisation of
climate change in four different countries: USA, Germany, Turkey,
and Mexico. The empirical analysis traces how specific
climate-security discourses have become dominant, which actors have
driven this process, what political consequences this has had and
what role the broader context has played in enabling these specific
securitisations. In doing so, the book outlines a new and
systematic theoretical framework that distinguishes between
different referent objects of securitisation (territorial,
individual and planetary) and between a security and risk
dimension. It thereby clarifies the ever-increasing literature on
different forms of securitisation and the relationship between
security, risk and politics. Whereas securitisation studies have
traditionally focused on either a single country case study or a
global overview, consequently failing to reconstruct detailed
securitisation dynamics, this is the first book to provide a
systematic comparative analysis of climate security discourses in
four countries and thus closes an empirical gap in the present
literature. In addition, this comparative framework allows the
drawing of conclusions about the conditions for and consequences of
successful securitisation based on empirical and comparative
analysis rather than theoretical debate only. This book will of
interest to students of climate change, environmental studies,
critical security, global governance, and IR in general.
