About this ebook

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean face extreme weather events alongside persistent security challenges, including organised crime, migration and financial vulnerability. Weather Politics and Security in the Caribbean examines these dynamics, bringing together scholarship from across the Caribbean and the West to explore how weather, politics and security intersect. It introduces weather politics as a lens for understanding the political consequences of extreme weather and its interaction with broader processes of climate change, while examining how political choices shape vulnerability and resilience.

Contributors address a range of pressing issues, including the political consequences of extreme weather, climate justice, green transitions, cybersecurity, migration, maritime security, organised crime and post-disaster policing. The volume connects debates that are often considered separately and brings diverse Caribbean and international perspectives into conversation. It offers new perspectives for scholars, policymakers and practitioners seeking to understand how climate-related events are reshaping political and security landscapes.
