We must pay close attention to the continued emergence of climate security as a debate and practice. So argues Corinne Lamain in her new article published in The Journal of Peasant Studies.
In the article, 'Whose security? Politics, risks and alternatives for climate security practices in agrarian-environmental perspectives', Lamain reviews the literature on the policies and practices that implicate the control of land, water and forests.
She argues that such policies and practices are increasingly framed along a 'human security' framing, which offers potential for agrarian climate justice. She also recognises several risks, including the depoliticization of scarcity, control-seeking over natural resources, a push for neoliberal approaches, a dominant focus on violent conflict and knowledge politics
