Environmental Security in Southern Africa (Paperback)

Environmental security research in Southern Africa is a young and eclectic academic endeavour, quite rare in university curricular. This book represents a methodological framework for policy research on environmental security in the SADC region. The framework attempts to develop analytical approaches which can capture inter-state environmental problems, conflicts and competition which have been recently growing in the region, and identify ways in which inter-state collaboration can promote mutually beneficial enviromental policy development. Amongst the major issues addressed is the vexed question of land.
