This book advances our understanding of security and its intricate
interactions with geopolitics and the environment in Eurasia.
Norman A. Graham and Şuhnaz Yılmaz focus on Eurasia, where the
energy-water-food nexus has emerged as a vital aspect of political
economy and increasingly as a decisive factor for human security.
As clearly revealed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, this
nexus rests on a precarious balance. Graham and Yilmaz argue that
Central Eurasia is currently ‘Running on Empty’ and highlight
the key environmental challenges, including water quantity and
quality and food security. The authors draw on their extensive
fieldwork in countries including Azerbaijan, China, Georgia
Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation, Turkey and Uzbekistan to assess
the interests and impact of pivotal actors and evaluate the
competition and complementarities of these actors regarding water,
energy, food security and foreign policy imperatives. They also
examine the broader interaction and implications of security at
multiple levels by analysing the local, national and international
factors in light of geopolitical and environmental challenges.
Taking a novel and highly interdisciplinary approach, this book
will be an important resource for students and scholars of energy
and food security, political economy, international conflict and
cooperation and natural resource politics.
