Of violence and (in)visibility: the securitisation of climate change in international law

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › Scientific › peer-review

Abstract

Drawing upon critical security studies, I explore the political stakes involved in characterising climate change as a peace and security issue. I argue that international law is involved in the constitution and embedding of specific climate security discourses, which have an impact on whose violence is seen and, thus, condemned.
