Ecological Security

Change in Global Environmental Politics

Climate Change and the Construction of Security Matt McDonald | University of Queensland

Temporal Focal Points and the Reform of International Institutions Michael W. Manulak | Carleton University, Ottawa

Climate change is increasingly acknowledged as a security issue. But how exactly is ‘security’ understood? McDonald identifies different accounts or discourses of climate security and the different practices these encourage, and argues for a focus on ecological security – the resilience of ecosystems themselves in the face of climate change.

In a period defined by environmental crisis and an urgent need to update global institutions, Manulak shows how large-scale change occurs in global environmental politics. Meticulously researched using newly-available sources, this book examines the colourful and intensely political history of change in environmental governance. 322pp 2 b/w illus. 6 tables Oct. 2023 9781009165891 Paperback GBP 25.99 / USD 34.99 eISBN 9781009165877
