Abstract

This paper attempts to begin to discuss concepts central to the IDS DRC project on citizenship, science and risk by bringing together the different yet conceptually related literatures pertaining to security and development in the international relations context, with a view to examining discourses on the environment, especially as these pertain to power relations between global, national and local levels of governance.
