Another Security Dilemma - Security Preferences in Context of Climate Change

How can states cooperate on global environmental issues while military conflicts divide them? Not much research has been focusing on the relationship between environmental and military security but with advancing technology, humanity has changed the rules of national security considerations. New theories and models are needed to understand the decisions of past state governments and to guide future decision-makers and researchers. This paper uses established theory to address the lack of a comprehensive theoretical framework. Based on this, parallel game theory could deliver new insights on possible developments. The main finding of the research is the significance of the model which should be further developed in future projects. However, the research also indicates an urgency in creating cooperation on climate change and the development of alternatives to traditional military security efforts.
