Over the past 20 years scholars, policymakers, and the media have
increasingly recognized the links between both traditional and
non-traditional security issues and the changing condition of the
global environment. Concepts such as 'environmental security' and
'resource conflict' have been used to hint at these significant
linkages. While there has been a good deal of scholarly work
conducted that seeks to identify the ways that actors link these
concepts, there has been little examination of the intersection
between approaches to environmental security and gender. This book
explores this intersection to provide an insight into the gendered
nature of both global environmental politics and security studies.
It examines how the issues of security and the environment are
linked to theory and practice, and the extent to which gender
informs these discussions. By adopting a feminist environmental
security discourse, this book provides crucial redefinitions of key
concepts and offers new insights into the ways we understand
security-environment connections. Case studies evaluate if, and
how, environment and security discourses are being used to
understand a range of environmental issues, and how a feminist
environmental security discourse contributes to our understanding
of security-environment connections. This multidisciplinary volume
draws on literature from the environmental sciences, security
studies and sociology to highlight the complex human insecurities
that often accompany environmental change. As conceptualizations of
security continue to shift and broaden to include environmental
issues and concerns, it is imperative that gender informs the
debate.
