Environmental Problems as a Security Issue

Summary/Abstract: In the bipolar system that emerged during the Cold War, security was handled within the framework of the threat and anxiety posed by the military power of one state on the other state. Environmental concerns were rarely perceived as a security problem. This approach was also an expression of the traditional understanding of security that has been accepted since the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia. Environmental problems began to be discussed as a security issue both academically and in international conferences from the 1960s. However, with the end of the Cold War, these problems have turned into a global issue for which international cooperation is essential for the solution. The aim of this study is to reveal what kind of change and transformation has taken place in the way environmental problems are handled in parallel with the expansion of the content of security.
