The Human-Environmental-Climate Security (HECS) framework adopts a critical environmental security perspective to avoid deterministic thinking and recognize local agency by people and governments. Applying the HECS framework to the Syrian case, the author traces the history of climate, water, and food (in)security in Syria in the context of Ba'athist and liberal policies. Ultimately, the book concludes that while climate change might have contributed to the severity of a drought in the mid- to late 2000s, it was ultimately the Syrian government's poor policy decisions that created a nexus of vulnerability in rural agricultural communities"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Water security $z Syria. 650 0 $a Water-supply $x Political aspects $z Syria. 650 0 $a Food security $x Political aspects $z Syria. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $z Syria. 650 0 $a Human security $z Syria. 651 0 $a Syria $x Environmental conditions. 651 0 $a Syria $x Environmental aspects. $y Civil War, 2011- $x Environmental aspects. 648 7 $a 2011 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Daoudy, Marwa. $t The origins of the Syrian conflict $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2020. $z 9781108567053 $w (DLC) 2019043961 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302015407.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A26C5D36969D11EBB000DAFF5DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
