Paper Abstract

We deployed a grounded survey of everyday people (n=609) to evaluate popular framing of environmental security in Kirkuk and understandings of the relationship between water scarcity, political conflict, and governance. We find that different framings of ecological security are embedded in commitments to competing programs for territorial control over the Kirkuk frontier and different ideas about local and national governance. 

 

The GLD Work-in-Progress Workshop is designed to help scholars with ongoing papers or projects by providing feedback, suggestions, and advice during a one-hour-long workshop. And all participants are, of course, encouraged to attend several workshops to reciprocate the helpful feedback.
