`The political puzzle of climate change is not only about why so little has been accomplished internationally, it is also how climate politics has been subsumed into the discourse and practices of climate security. In an acute analysis, Delf Rothe examines both the nuts and bolts of this matter and the underlying structural processes that have turned an already complex issue into an even more wicked problem'. -- Ronnie D. Lipschutz, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA `This book is an ambitious attempt to examine current theories of securitization and to rethink the links between climate and security in contemporary policy discourse. Focusing on the United Kingdom in particular this analysis of the rise of climate risks and biopolitical security policy moves academic debates ahead usefully. Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding contemporary developments in environmental security thinking and policy innovation'. -- Simon Dalby, Balsillie School of International Affairs, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada
