Recenzii
Environmental security remains vulnerable to definitional pluralism. Elisha Jasper Dung, Leonard Sitji Bombom, and Augustine Avwunudiogba capture the clouded concept clearly by conceiving environmental security in terms of threats to human production in Africa when natural and human-constructed spaces are not safeguarded. The confluence of politics and development, along with its impact on environmental security, represents a critical vector in the face of unresolved conflicts and obstreperous natural processes-such as climate change-that can further endanger both human production and the life-supporting capabilities of the environment. Without in-depth analysis, as demonstrated in this book, it becomes difficult to understand the correlates of environmental security in poorly explored contexts. This book will be a great source worldwide for scholars and practitioners in African studies, political science, public affairs and public policy, sociology, and environmental science.
This is a significant book on environmental security in Africa. This edited volume captures the historical, socioeconomic, cultural, and political aspects of environmental challenges in Africa in seventeen scrutinized chapters. Elisha Jasper Dung, Leonard Sitji Bombom and Augustine Avwunudiogba and the contributors thoroughly explore the problem of environmental security from diverse theoretical perspectives established within socio-cultural, environmental, and spatial perspectives. The multidisciplinary nature of this book shines, probing insights into this existential problem in Africa. This makes it an essential read for all stakeholders interested in further understanding and finding solutions to Africa's environmental security problem.
