Bachelor‘s thesis: Desecuritization of Climate Change of U.S. The problem. Assessing the global context, the vast majority of scientists say that the impact of climate change is greatly influenced by human activity, and its threat to the world is not diminishing, so countries are seriously concerned about climate change, linking it to security and actively looking for a solution to this problem. However, when the world leaders are trying to bring about new restrictions and changes in their own countries, contributing to the reduction of environmental damage, the US is withdrawing from the Paris Accord and gradually moving away from any attempt to link climate change to security and apply its solutions within the country. Relevance. Such country-leading behavior can have serious consequences for the global fight against climate change, which all countries should focus on to achieve successful results, and it is therefore important to analyze the US action on climate change and identify its position. The aim of this work is to analyze the official US environmental security discourse, using the theoretical framework of securitization, and to answer the question whether and how the United States desecuritize climate change in the country. The subject of this study is the US desecuritization process. The following tasks are distinguished: (1) to discuss the features of the securitization theory and desecuritization, and to distinguish the theoretical assumptions for the research; (2) present and demonstrate in detail the process of securitization of the climate change issue, highlighting the essential context, conditions and features; (3) to analyze in detail the process of desecuritization of the climate change problem in the US, highlighting the essential context, conditions, features and ways (types). The main findings of the study: 1. Climate change has been successfully securitized in the U.S. under the leadership of President Barack Obama. 2. Climate change is in the process of desecuritization in the U.S. ...
