پیش از این چند باری در مورد تغییرات محیط زیستی/اقلیمی و مهاجرت اینجا نوشته ام. امروز دنبال مقاله ای بودم که به کتابی رسیدم با این مشخصات:

 Afifi, T. and J. Jäger, Environment, forced migration and social vulnerability, Berlin ; London: Springer. xv, 271 p.

 که اگر از محیط دانشگاهی بگردید روی Springer قابل دسترسی است. این کتاب به بحث مهاجرت اجباری در اثر تغییرات محیط زیستی می پردازه که در سال های گذشته جزو مباحث داغ سیاسی و اجتماعی بوده. شاید مثلا واژه ی "پناهجویان محیط زیستی"به گوشتون خورده باشه. تا جایی که به فهرست کتاب نگاه کردم نمونه هایی رو از سراسر دنیا معرفی و مثال های جالبی رو در این رابطه ارائه کرده. 

برای دانلود فهرست کتاب، مقدمه و بخشی از محتوای کتاب می تونید به اینجا مراجعه کنید و سه فایل PDF رو که در پایین صفحه ارائه شدند کلیک کنید.

This book examines the linkages between environmental change and forced migration. This has been a headline topic during the past few years with predictions of “millions of refugees”. It presents case studies from across the world of responses to climate change as well as other environmental changes and examines the role that environmental change plays among the other factors that lead to a decision to migrate.

امروز نگاهی هم انداختم به کتابی با محتوای نسبتا مشابه با عنوان که البته فرصت نشد کتاب رو با دقت مطالعه کنم و بعد از خوندن یک فصل فعلا توی فهرست کارهام گذاشتمش. کتاب نقدهای خوبی گرفته و با وجود کوچک بودن محتوای غنی داشت. جزییات کتاب اینجا است:

Dalby, S., Security and environmental change. 2009, Cambridge, UK ; Malden, MA: Polity. viii, 197 p.

In the early years of the new millennium, hurricanes lashed the Caribbean and flooded New Orleans as heat waves and floods seemed to alternate in Europe. Snows were disappearing on Mount Kilimanjaro while the ice caps on both poles retreated. The resulting disruption caused to many societies and the potential for destabilizing international migration has meant that the environment has become a political priority.The scale of environmental change caused by globalization is now so large that security has to be understood as an ecological process. A new geopolitics is long overdue.

In this book Simon Dalby provides an accessible and engaging account of the challenges we face in responding to security and environmental change. He traces the historical roots of current thinking about security and climate change to show the roots of the contemporary concern and goes on to outline modern thinking about securitization which uses the politics of invoking threats as a central part of the analysis. He argues that to understand climate change and the dislocations of global ecology, it is necessary to look back at how ecological change is tied to the expansion of the world economic system over the last few centuries. As the global urban system changes on a local and global scale, the world’s population becomes vulnerable in new ways. In a clear and careful analysis, Dalby shows that theories of human security now require a much more nuanced geopolitical imagination if they are to grapple with these new vulnerabilities and influence how we build more resilient societies to cope with the coming disruptions.

This book will appeal to level students and scholars of geography, environmental studies, security studies and international politics, as well as to anyone concerned with contemporary globalization and its transformation of the biosphere.
