Reviews
"Environmental security is a key issue in the contemporary world, but for too long it has been just another way of arguing for traditional types of national security. Jon Barnett - clearly utterly in control of his material - offers an alternative view in which peace and justice are not regarded as add-on extras to environmental security but central to it. Barnett distinguishes provocatively between environmental and ecological security, and he writes persuasively about the kinds of institutions required to bring them about." -- Andrew Dobson, Keele University "Barnett marches straight into the lion's den of national security policy, and walks out with a tame security policy firmly linked to a guarding of the environment in all its ecological complexity -- and complete with human need as a key feature of that complexity... An adventurous book for adventurous peacemakers." -- Elise Boulding, former secretary general of the International Peace Research Association. "Jonathan Barnett's examination and critique of the 'meaning of environmental security' is one of the most detailed, far-reaching and perspicacious so far published. It should be required reading not only for those interested in peace and justice but also anyone who has or intends to conduct research in the field." -- Ronnie Lipschutz, University of California, Santa Cruz "By putting the practical lived experiences of peoples, rather than the military prerogatives of powerful states, at the heart of a reformulated environmental security, Jon Barnett offers a constructive alternative that moves the policy debate ahead." -- Simon Dalby, Carleton University "Environmental security is one of these poisonous concepts which cloud the mind. Jon Barnett has now dissected the concept, revealing its baleful impact on our thinking." -- Wolfgang Sachs, 'Environmental security is one of these poisonous concepts which cloud the mind.

Synopsis
At least two things are certain about world politics today: environmental problems are important, and discourses on security remain powerful. Environment and security have been progressively linked in theory, and environmental security is now manifest in policy. But the meaning of environmental security is ambiguous and open to appropriation, and an examination of its various interpretations and applications reveals much about the state of global environmental politics.This book offers a comprehensive critical discussion of environmental security. It discusses the origins and implications of a wide variety of approaches to the subject. Barnett argues that ultimately environmental security is driven more by the power of security-makers than by the need to address environmental problems. By systematically uncovering the deficiencies of existing discourses on environmental security, Barnett goes beyond critique and develops an alternative approach with practical implications., A comprehensive critical discussion of environmental security. It reviews the origins and implications of a variety of approaches. Here Barnett argues that environmental security is often driven more by the power of the security-makers than by the need to address environmental problems., This book is a comprehensive, critical discussion of the new idea of environmental security. Jon Barnett looks at links between environmental degradation and national security. But the meaning of the concept is ambiguous, and an examination of its various interpretations and applications reveals much about the state of global environmental politics. Barnett argues that environmental security is ultimately driven more by the power of security-makers than by the need to address environmental problems.
