Environmentalism in conflicting theories of international relations

The spread of environmental threats in recent years and their destructive effects on global health, economy, security and geopolitics have brought environmental issues into the context of theories of international relations.The fluid and multifaceted nature of environmental issues has led to different theories of international relations having different orientations towards these issues and their impact on international relationsThe present article examines the emergence of environmentalism and the different and conflicting perspectives of international relations theories on this issue.The paper hypothesizes that the emergence of environmental issues as a security and top policy issue did not lead to the recognition of the emergence of international environmental relations as a source of growing questions for the field.The research findings support the hypothesis and show that while in the past, under the influence of traditional theoretical approaches to international relations and the development of the concept of state-based security, environmental issues were treated as an abstract whole in international relations. ; But fundamental changes in world politics have led to the recognition of the environment and its unpredictable and surprising consequences as one of the main issues in international relations.The result of this environmentalism was the emergence of a green current in theories of international relations that has influenced the concepts and practices of environmental policy and has led to the conceptualization of global governance as a tool and framework for understanding emerging environmental issues. There was also a comprehensive mechanism for cooperation between national governments to address these threats
