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.

Subject: [gep-ed] US National Security and Environment Reading Lists?

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!

Ben
