Re-imagining International Relations

Examining the interplay between climate change and security, this book identifies conditions that heighten the risk of conflict and humanitarian crises. It highlights the role of weak state capacity, exclusive political institutions, and uneven international assistance in exacerbating vulnerabilities. By analyzing paired cases like Somalia and Ethiopia, the author illustrates how differing levels of state capacity and political inclusion influence security outcomes despite similar environmental challenges, offering insights into mitigating potential crises.
