Our Singapore country manager, Mark Nuttall, contributes a chapter to the ‘Handbook of Security and the Environment’ published by Edward Elgar Publishing.

Hill and Associates is proud to announce that our senior leader in Singapore, has contributed a chapter titled ‘Bribery, corruption, geopolitics and investigation’ to the academic textbook, Handbook of Security and the Environment, published by Edward Elgar Publishing.

The handbook was edited by leading academics and professionals in the Environmental and Security field, Ashok Swain, Professor of Peace and Conflict Research, Uppsala University, Joakim Öjendal, Professor of Peace and Development Research, Gothenburg University, Sweden and Anders Jägerskog, Senior Water Resources Management Specialist, The World Bank, Washington DC, US.

Edward Elgar Publishing states:

“This comprehensive Handbook tackles the increasingly urgent problem of the impact of climate change on conflict and human security. It analyses the ways in which scarcity of resources leads to food, water and health insecurities, resulting in population migration. Chapters cover how these contribute globally to societal insecurity and violent conflict in a growing number of regions.

Featuring contributions from leading international scholars, the Handbook is divided into thematic sections, examining first the effects of environmental scarcity on security at a macro level before delving into region-specific issues and challenges. The final section investigates the actors, institutions and processes engaged with environmental security, discussing the shifting international political discourse and how this is challenging the conservative military security paradigm.

The combination of comparative global analysis alongside regionally focused studies makes this Handbook an invaluable resource for all scholars and students of environment and climate security. It will also be of interest to policy professionals working on issues of environmental scarcity and new security challenges.”
