Migration and Conflict in a Global Warming Era

<p>This Special Issue explores underrepresented aspects of the political dimensions of global warming. It includes post- and decolonial perspectives on climate-related migration and conflict intersectional approaches and climate change politics as a new tool of governance. Its aim is to shed light on the social phenomena associated with anthropogenic climate change as well as its multidimensional and far-reaching political effects including climate-induced migration movements and climate-related conflicts in different parts of the world. In doing so it critically engages with securitizing discourses and the resulting anti-migration arguments and policies in the Global North in order to identify and give a voice to alternative and hitherto underrepresented research and policy perspectives. In this way it aims to contribute to a fact-based critical and holistic approach to human mobility and conflict in the context of political and environmental crisis.</p>
