Bibliometric analysis of studies on environmental conflicts and peace: Trends and perspectives

This article presents a bibliometric analysis of the studies on environmental conflicts and peace produced by the global scientific community in the last ten years (2015-2024). This analysis aims to identify the contributions and gaps of the scientific community regarding these topics. To do so, a scientific mapping of environmental conflicts and peace was carried out using bibliometric techniques and tools in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Scientific production was reviewed by year, author, institutional affiliation, and country. As a result, various asymmetric interactions between the global North and South were identified, and the emerging nature of this field of study was determined, which allows us to question its scope and highlight opportunities and challenges for future research from the South.
