The relevance of the topic of the Monograph:<\/strong> In modern international and interstate relations, in political processes, the problem of Environmental Security has a significant impact, often being a reason for revising political relations and the emergence of domestic political tension, a reason for targeted political speculations, a reason for revising international documents and obligations, as well as a factor having a certain influence on political decision-making.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consideration of the problem of Environmental Security at the strategic level makes it possible to assess it more deeply, in the national and international dimen\u00adsions, by analyzing the political processes taking place in the world, using a wide range of tools. Today, many issues of environmental security have gone beyond the res\u00adponsibility and international obligations of a single state or states, often acquiring a global scale and significance. Equally important are the issues of environmental security that arise in conflict zones as a consequence or cause of conflicts. Moreover, in modern warfare, deliberate damage to the natural environment of the enemy (ecocide) has become one of the modern characteristics of warfare. For decades, Armenia and Artsakh have been subjected to various accusations and political speculations of environmental content by the enemy state and suffered environmental damage from it. The topic of the Monograph is especially relevant in this context, considering the issue of environmental security in the context of ensuring the security interests of the RA and assessing environmental problems and their consequences in the Artsakh 44-day war.<\/span><\/p>\n

The aim of the Monograph<\/strong> is to highlight the importance of the problem of Environmental Security and emphasize its importance from the point of view of political science, in intrastate and interstate political security processes and modern warfare, observing the results of international processes of condemning the deliberate destruction of the natural system as a negotiating tool that provides superiority over the enemy in process of settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh con\u00adflict and as a new effective pro-Armenian strategic direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first Chapter, entitled \u201cThe problem of Environ\u00admental Security in the context of Security and Political science developments\u201d<\/strong>, describes the content extensions, new meaning and assessment of ecology and the concept of \u201cenvironmental security\u201d as an important component of national security in the context of current environmental problems. The features, advantages and new research oppor\u00adtunities for monitoring and evaluating the problem of Environ\u00admental Security from the point of view of Political Science are analyzed, emphasizing the need to develop Environmental Political Science as a modern, important and relevant area in domestic science. The problem of Environmental Security is presented in the foreign and domestic political spheres, in the context of rethinking or changing the policies pursued by states.
