ABSTRACT
Of the various topical issues often associated with the non-traditional security school (i.e. disease, immigration, poverty, etc.), the environment has received the most scrutiny. Pundits, policy-makers, and academics have all reflected on the so-called environmental security subfield. Lester Brown’s (1977) Worldwatch piece is probably most recognized for bringing this issue to the fore. But writings have generally taken two opposing sides in discussing the relationship between security and the environment.
