Climate Change And Treats To Human Security

Year:2014,Binding:Hardcover,Pages:336,Language:English, Description:- , About The Author:- NarottamGaan, both Ph.D and D.Litt, Professor and former Head of Post- Graduate Department of Political Science, Utkal University, Vanivihar, Bhubaneswar has been teaching Political Science and International Studies with unflinching commitment and dedication. Not being lured by the lucre of Allied Services (ICS) in 1983-84, he preferred to stay in the academic life. Publication of innumerable articles and research papers in various journals in India and abroad, and thirteen books come as a testament to his prominent scholarship and deep acquaintance with a plethora of wide ranging subjects and contemporary issues concerning policy makers, statesmen, scholars, social scientists and humanity at large. Privileged to visit Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and Croatia on an Austrian government scholarship, he attended many conferences and programmes abroad and received advanced degree in international studies from European University Center for Peace Studies, Stadtschlaining, Austria. Critically delving deep into the Western concepts as 'given' to analyse, understand and interpret issues with incisive contestation of their contemporary relevance from an Indian perspective has been one of his illuminating intellectual cornerstones. His present focus on climate change, environmental security, development, peace, human security and economic rethinking and various national and international issues of current importance challenging the conventionally ingrained notions of state, sovereignty and national and international security, entitles him to be one of the few celebrated scholars receiving wide acknowledgement and accolades from abroad., Contents:- Contents # Preface.: Acknowledgements.: List of Contributors.: Introduction: Climate Change and Human Security.: Narottam Gaan.: Environmental Security and Peace Building: A Plea for.: a Theoretical Construct.: Manoj Kumar Mishra.: Warfare: Its Environmental and Human Consequences.: in the Light of Global Warming.: Arthur H Westing.: Climate Change and Threats to Human Security in.: Bangladesh: An Analysis.: Md Rafiqul Islam and Ziaul Haque.: Climate Change.: Human Security and Sri Lanka.: Erandathie Lokupitiya.: Climate Change and Threats to Human Security.: Dasarathi Bhuyan.: India
