Book review: Climate Terror: A Critical Geopolitics of Climate Change by Sanjay Chaturvedi and Timothy Doyle

Ryan, Barry J.

Abstract

Within the last year or so, a number of books have been published that critically examine how strategies of security have become attached to environmental problems. Robert Marzec’s (2015) contribution, for instance, draws together the history of the enclosure movement with the politics of climate adaptation to evoke a sometimes bleak biopolitical analysis of humankind’s relationship to the planet. A more recent intervention by Diez et al. (2016) takes a case study approach to the construction of environmental risk and security. Both the methods and the conclusions in this latter publication resound well with the critique of climate policies addressed in the book under review here.
