SUMMARY:Divided Environment: an International Political Ecology of Climate
  Change\, Water and Security - Prof Jan Selby

DESCRIPTION:What are the implications of climate change for twenty-first-c
 entury conflict and security? Rising temperatures\, it is often said\, wil
 l bring increased drought\, more famine\, heightened social vulnerability\
 , and large-scale political and violent conflict\; indeed\, many claim tha
 t this future is already with us. Divided Environments\, however\, shows t
 hat this is mistaken. Focusing especially on the links between climate cha
 nge\, water and security\, and drawing on detailed evidence from Israel-Pa
 lestine\, Syria\, Sudan and elsewhere\, it shows both that mainstream envi
 ronmental security narratives are misleading\, and that the actual securit
 y implications of climate change are very different from how they are ofte
 n imagined. Addressing themes as wide-ranging as the politics of droughts\
 , the contradictions of capitalist development and the role of racism in e
 nvironmental change\, while simultaneously articulating an original 'inter
 national political ecology' approach to the study of socio-environmental c
 onflicts\, Divided Environments offers a new and important interpretation 
 of our planetary future.
