Abstract
Invoking security is easy; dealing with the finer points of what it means, who is insecure why and where is much more difficult. As the chapters in this volume suggest it is even more so when notions of environment are linked to matters of security, conflict and violence. In the face of repeated invocations of environmental dangers, and the potential for conflict over water, food and, most recently, climate, these matters deserve careful attention from scholars. Careful attention requires wariness of both media enthusiasms for hot topics, as well as state agendas for both security and development.
