National Security and Environmental Concerns:

There is a growing body of literature linking security and environmental concerns. There are also definitional and other questions surrounding whether such a linkage is appropriate or meaningful. The core question is whether environmental problems should be considered national and/or international security problems. In the end, whether environmental issues will be addressed within a security context will depend on whether policymakers choose to do so.

The materials listed here are not meant to be a definitive review of the literature on what is becoming an increasingly broad topic, but rather represent a range of sources from which an interested student might launch a more in-depth study. Many of the referenced items come from the Report of the Environmental Change and Security Project at the Woodrow Wilson Center, Washington, DC. The Center's Web site is at: http://www.wilsoncenter.org.
