Title: Security at the Poles: The Arctic and Antarctic
Abstract: Environmental security is a concept that has been, and continues to be, subject to controversy. Should environmental issues be ‘securitized’? If so, in which cases? Security pertains, even amongst many critical security studies scholars, to immediate threats that requires urgent action, and such immediacy is often not clear and present when it comes to the environment: “The environmental sector displays more clearly than any other the propensity for dramatic securitizing moves but with comparatively little successful securitization effects” (Buzan/Wæver/deWilde 1998: 74).
