The author analyses and summarizes the drivers and components of the unfolding process of defining and conceptualizing human security in the environmental context. Next to the intellectual and scientific dimension, this publication analyses also the intergovernmental and political evolution of the environmental aspects of the human security concept. This fascinating narrative is an essential background reading for those interested in the details, intricacies, but also conceptual problems of the "securisation" of the environment.
