  My AHRC funded PhD examined the extent to which the convergence between environment and security alters the way in which the international community seeks to protect the environment, and in turn, what this suggests about their perception of the environment. Drawing on ecofeminist theory to develop an analytical framework, it examined the preparatory reports and outcome texts from eight environmental regimes in relation to three areas of international environmental law-making. It examined who participates in the development of IEL in order to reveal any tensions between the principle of participation included in sustainable development, and the exclusionary practices in some environmental areas that are closely connected to the environment and national interests. It then considered the justifications for the integration of other non-environmental considerations (such as development, economic, security, and technology) into IEL, and their influence on states’ perception of the environment. The thesis concluded that despite the broader participation by NSAs in the development of IEL, changes in states’ priorities over time, and the growing convergence between security and environment, the western anthropomorphic perception of the environment prevails in law-making at an international level.
