Ben- Right up my alley! I wrote a book on this 2 years ago: Environmental Security: A Guide to the Issues (Praeger 2013). Also, there is more theoretically-based work - an "environmental security" title search will find works by Simon Dalby and Jon Barnett. Christian Parenti wrote a readable book called Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence (2011) and the U.S. Army War College published a multi-author volume called Global Climate Change: National Security Implications (ed. Carolyn Pumphrey, 2008).
For most of the recent environmental security work, it is broken down by topic area or regional area. For example, the connections between climate change, malaria, and violence in Nigeria, or drought and migration across the Arab Spring. I would tell your student to be wary of studies that are too quantitative. I know this is heresy in academia, but global statistical trends do not account for regional or even country-specific cases. Also, ironic that Dan Deudney writes now about environmental security, after having pilloried the idea for so long. -Beth ______________________________________________________ Elizabeth L.

Hi all, I have a student who is working on a paper looking at US National Security and Environmental linkages. Can anyone update me with recent readings? I have already of course Tad Homer-Dixon’s stuff and Duedney’s chapter in Green Planet Blues. Thanks in advance!
