Rezensionen

Environment, Development and Human Society is a worthy contribution to...environment-security scholarship. The book's empirical focus...reminds academics to stay grounded instead of drifting away from practitioners' concerns. Environmental Change and Security Project This work provides strong support for the relevance and prescience of human security. By moving beyond the often narrow academic debate, the authors show that a change in security thinking is needed and wanted on the ground, remarkably doing so in a region typically hostile to any questioning of national authority. -- Taylor Owen Journal Of Peace Research This work provides strong support for the relevance and prescience of human security.
