The Origins of the Syrian Conflict

Beschreibung

Policymakers, academics and the media have claimed that climate change causes conflicts. This study presents an innovative framework to evaluate this theory, asking whether climate change caused the conflict in Syria. Its argument and findings are essential for practitioners and scholars of climate change, security, and Middle Eastern politics.
