Climate Change and Rising Sea Level in Bangladesh: Security Implications for India

 
Narottam Gaan (Author)
Synopsis

What has come in for the most daunting challenge to the ingrained conventional pronouncement of security in Westphalia parlance built around state and its corresponding apparatus is none else than the very inordinate and relentless human interference into the functioning of nature in pursuit of development, requirements of modernity and civilized and exorbitant life style culminating in climate change along with its apocalyptic consequences wrought on human beings and non-human living things. This non-traditional security challenge is no where seen more glaringly than in the conext of Bangladesh being hazardously vulnerable to the havoc of natural calamities like sea level rise, global warming, cyclones and hurricanes etc. Threatened by the ever engulfing rising sea level and other disasters, the people in low lying regions of Bangladesh are on their heels to areas within the country or to the neighbouring countries like India for their living and sustenance. The continued influx of Bangladeshis as environmental refugees into Indian territories like Assam in conflation with the original inhabitants of a different ethnic origin has in recent years not only ignited the scourge of violence and killing of human beings and but also paved the way for the emergence of local uprisings like ULFA and Bodoland movements ultimately dragging both India and Bangladesh into the conflagration. This book delves deep into the entire gamut of the crisis and unveils the linkage between climate change and ongoing migration from Bangladesh focusing on the desideratum of addressing the root causes of environmental crisis not only at the local or regional but also at the global level in order to unearth a possible solution.

About the author

Narottam Gaan

Narottam, Gaan, Ph.D. and D.Litt. has been teaching in political science in different colleges since 1978. Not being lured by the lucre of Allied Services (ICS) in 1983 he left the job to stay in the academic life. Publication of innumerable articles and papers in various journals in India and abroad, and five books including this stands as a testament to his scholarship and deep acquaintance with a wide ranging subjects. Privileged to visit Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and Croatia on an Austrian government scholarship, he attended many conferences and programmes abroad and awarded a Certificate of Achievement in International Studies from European University Centre for Peace Studies Stadtschlaining, Austria. His presnet post doctoral work on environment, security, development, peace and economic rethinking and various aspects of International Relation entities him to be one of the few celebrated scholars working in India. His next work, Environmental Issues and Challenges: A Critique on International Relation Theories, another feather in his cap of achievement, is demonstrative of his unceasing efforts and unflinching determination to scale the intellectual and academic heights. His new and unconventional ideas on a vast array of subjects ranging from national and international politics to humanity, environment, human rights, security, and development and getting coverage in the daily news papers and journals to the utmost appreciation of both the readers and the layman, show his deep sense of commitment to the subject and concerns with the critical problems plaguing the humanity at present and his being opened up to the inward traffic from other disciplines.
