DSPO 27A52 - Disputing climate security - Global politics, local struggles

Climate security is a recently framed notion mostly used at the international level. It stresses the security implications of climate change and is a sign of growing concerns about the capacity of international policy frameworks as well as the states' capacities to anticipate and adapt to climate change. The goal of this course is to introduce to the notion and its implications. The introductive part focuses on the global scale, analyzing the geopolitics of energy transition, while the rest of the course delineates the national and local security implications of climate change. It finally insists on the struggles and mobilisations which climate change seems to intensify, therefore redefining environmental and climate justice.
