New book on disasters and conflict dynamics
Tobias Ide
Dear colleagues,
Please allow some shameless self-promotion of my new book Catastrophes, Confrontations, and Constraints: How Disasters Shape the Dynamics of Armed Conflicts. The book can now be ordered, but MIT Press also agreed to make it open access.
As a research monograph, I hope the book will make significant contributions to debates about environmental security, the climate-conflict nexus, disaster studies, and research on peace and armed conflict. The book is also written in a modular way and hence provides important resources that can be used for teaching, such as a 36 “mini case studies”, a literature review and a comprehensive theory section on the topic, and a separate chapter on COVID-19 and armed conflict.
Best wishes,
Tobias
