Climate changes and new patterns of conflict and cooperation in international relations

The most important security challenge for governments in the 21st century, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union, is dealing with new forms of existential threats that did not exist before. Climate change as an external threat outside of intergovernmental interactions has affected various aspects of the public life of states and nations. One of the most important uncertainties in international relations is the analysis of the effectiveness of international interactions in the face of these new but widespread threats . In this research, the effect of climate changes on international interaction patterns has been investigated based on the theoretical foundations of the Copenhagen school. To do this, the consequences of climate change have been evaluated and the impact of these consequences on the security sectors and the triple structure of the government have been studied according to the concepts of the Copenhagen school. The findings of this research are that climate change, changes the patterns of conflict and cooperation in international relations by weakening governments and creating a range of »weak states« (in the Copenhagen sense). It is noteworthy that this research has been compiled in the form of scientific-experimental approaches and based on explanatory goals and deductive strategy.
