Environmental Security in Greece: Perceptions from Industry, Government, NGOs and the Public

di Charis (Harris) Gerosideris (Autore)

Emerald Publishing Limited, 2021

Environmental Security in Greece establishes stakeholders' perceptions of environmental security and energy security taking a Q-methodology and Digital Media Research Framework approach. In-depth individual viewpoints and opinions of policymakers, energy-industry leaders, NGOs' members and the public are described throughout. The book demonstrates the value of applying Q-methodology in the study of climate change as a security issue in a vulnerable country like Greece which represents a range of countries with many interrelated economic, societal, political and security problems. The research was conducted during the period from August 2007-2016 prior to the Paris Climate Agreement. Q-methodology systematically reveals the traditional and non-traditional security approaches and theories and compares academic and public perceptions. The methodology provides a means of investigating human subjectivity not hitherto used to investigate climate change and security issues. The author establishes a number of discourse factors shifting the discussion from traditional security and climate change scepticism to ecological security and protection.
