Methane Security Problem Climate by Okere Imani (8 results)

Condition: New.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. For most of modern history, strategic planning has assumed that territory is stable, seasons are reliable, and the future arrives gradually enough for institutions to adapt. Methane-related feedbacks challenge those assumptions. They introduce the possibility that warming dynamics can accelerate, that once-trusted ground can become unreliable, and that emergencies can compound faster than public systems can learn. In that environment, "climate" stops being a background condition and becomes a stress test of governance itself.The Methane Security Problem reframes methane feedbacks as a planning variable with direct implications for stability and preparedness. Imani Z. Okere links the science-facing language of feedback to the institutional realities that determine outcomes: procurement tempo, maintenance backlogs, interagency mandates, and the credibility of public communication. Moving from the Arctic to other exposed settings, the book examines permafrost thaw and infrastructure exposure, disaster response amid compound events, and how critical infrastructure risk cascades rather than fails in a single event. It also treats migration and displacement as capacity challenges shaped by housing, services, and legitimacy, not as slogans.Written for students, policy audiences, and readers of geopolitics who want analytical clarity without false certainty, the book offers tools for thinking under deep uncertainty. Okere shows why short political and budget cycles repeatedly collide with long-horizon risk, and how adaptive governance often breaks at the seams: between agencies, across levels of government, and between data and decision rights. Readers will finish with a sharper understanding of where states are brittle, how risk is silently priced into infrastructure and finance, and what it means to plan responsibly when the most strategic threats are not always intentional, visible, or precisely timed. The Methane Security Problem reframes methane feedbacks as a planning variable with direct implications for stability and preparedness. This item is printed on demand.
