@article{ Klepp2020, title = {Migration and Conflict in a Global Warming Era: A Political Understanding of Climate Change (Editorial)}, author = {Klepp, Silja and Fröhlich, Christiane}, journal = {Social Sciences}, number = {5}, pages = {1-9}, volume = {9}, year = {2020}, issn = {2076-0760}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.3390/socsci9050078}, urn = {https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-74412-2}, abstract = {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. The different contributions aim to uncover 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, the authors critically engage with securitising discourses and resulting anti-migration arguments and policies in the Global North. In this way, they identify and give a voice to alternative and hitherto underrepresented research and policy perspectives. Overall, the special issue aims to contribute to a critical and holistic approach to human mobility and conflict in the context of political and environmental crisis.}, keywords = {Migration; migration; Umweltkrise; environment crisis; Umweltschaden; environmental damage; Umweltschutz; environmental protection; Umweltpolitik; environmental policy; Klimawandel; climate change; Auswirkung; impact; Wirkung; effect; Konflikt; conflict; Flüchtling; refugee; Flucht; flight; politische Faktoren; political factors; Nord-Süd-Beziehungen; north-south relations; Klimapolitik; climate policy; Anpassung; adaptation; Vulnerabilität; vulnerability; Migrationspolitik; migration policy; Diskurs; discourse; Gerechtigkeit; justice; Postkolonialismus; post-colonialism}}
