Environmental Conflict and Cooperation: Premise, Purpose, Persuasion, Promise<\/strong>
\nThis book explores environmental conflict as a field, why we study it, key issues and themes, and how it might create future cooperation.\u00a0 (Routledge, 2021)<\/p>\n

Climate Change and Armed Conflict: Hot and Cold Wars<\/strong>
\nThis book examines the evolution of the relationship between climate change and conflict, and attempts to visualize future trends. (Routledge, 2013)<\/p>\n

Due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, current trends in climate change indicate unique types and modes of conflict.\u00a0 It will redefine the value of important resources and create new challenges to maintaining social order and stability. This book examines the consequences of climate change and argues that it has and will produce two types of different types of conflict: ‘cold wars’ and ‘hot wars’. Cold wars<\/em> will occur in northern and southern latitudes as warming draws countries into possible conflict due to expanding interests in exploiting new resources and territories (inter-state conflict). Hot wars<\/em> will break out around the equator as warming expands and intensifies dry areas, increasing competition for scarce resources (intra-state conflict). Conflict is not inevitable, but it will also be a consequence of how states, international institutions, and people react to changes in the climate. Climate change and conflict have always shaped human experiences. This book explores parameters of the relationship, its history, and its trends, offering future conditions and opportunities for changing the historical path we are on.<\/p>\n
