Simon Dalby Livres

The extensively revised second edition of the 'Geopolitics Reader' draws together the most important political, geographical, historical and sociological readings of geopolitics in the early 21st century.

In the Anthropocene, climate change and species extinction are accelerating, driven by fossil-fuel powered globalization. Current security policies, rooted in outdated geopolitical concepts, fail to address these emerging threats. This book argues for a forward-looking approach to security that prioritizes sustainability and reduces reliance on fossil fuels, emphasizing the need for new strategies to navigate the complexities of a rapidly changing world.

In the early 2000s, climate change reshaped global security, prompting a need for a new geopolitical perspective. Simon Dalby explores the historical ties between ecological change and globalization, arguing for a nuanced understanding of human security. This book is essential for scholars and anyone interested in environmental and geopolitical issues.

Fire is a key physical process on earth, one that humans alone have worked out how to partly control. The combustion of fossil fuels is causing the climate to change rapidly. In this accessible book, Dalby argues our challenge is to create a new economy for life after fossil fuels.
