Аннотация

The paper is an attempt to understand the current policy response to tackle air pollution in Delhi, India. It takes a human security approach to challenge some of the mainstream assumptions which inform the current top-down policy response. Then it tries to provide openings for a more holistic policy foundation based on our discussion on the literature about human and environmental security.
