Jennifer Sciubba - Future Faces of War: Population & National Security

"Long-term trends really are what shape the environment in the future," said Jennifer Dabbs Sciubba in this interview with ECSP. "As we've seen recently with...revolution in North Africa, it's the long-term trends that act together for these things to happen -- I like to say demography is not usually the spark for a conflict but it's the fodder."

Sciubba is the Mellon Environmental Fellow in the Department of International Studies at Rhodes College. In her new book, The Future Faces of War: Population and National Security, she discusses the importance of demographic trends in relation to security and stability, including age structure, migration, youth bulges, population growth, and urbanization.
