Preferred term

environmental security studies  

Definition

  • Environmental security studies analyze both the confluence of foreign policy and environmental security, particularly in the aftermath of the Cold War, and the linkages between security cooperation and global environmental risks. They result from an opening in the fields of foreign policy, defense studies, and security cooperation, wherein researchers have tended to move away from a narrowly defined military and strategic understanding of threat, vulnerability, risk, and national interest.
