The empirical analysis traces how specific climate-security discourses have become dominant, which actors have driven this process, what political consequences this has had and what role the broader context has played in enabling these specific securitisations. In doing so, the book outlines a new and systematic theoretical framework that distinguishes between different referent objects of securitisation (territorial, individual and planetary) and between a security and risk dimension. It thereby clarifies the ever-increasing literature on different forms of securitisation and the relationship between security, risk and politics. Whereas securitisation studies have traditionally focused on either a single country case study or a global overview, consequently failing to recon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e'The Securitisation of Climate Change\u003c\/em\u003e is a welcome and important contribution to the literature. The authors provide detailed empirical analysis of the way securitisation practices play out in a range of national settings, and make the important point that the different forms of linking climate change and security are crucial to the types of practices securitisation encourages. In the process, this book not only provides much needed empirical depth and theoretical nuance to literature on climate security, it also makes a broader contribution to debates about the construction of security- and the normative implications of this construction- in international relations.'\u003c\/strong\u003e -- \u003cem\u003eMatt McDonald, University of Queensland, Australia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'In addressing the great challenge of our time, \u003cem\u003eThe Securitisation of Climate Change\u003c\/em\u003e brings unprecedented analytical sensitivity, nuance and breadth to the politics of climate change.
