Description

9/11 exploded the global security agenda, catapulting terrorism to the top of every list of priorities. In this new volume, Jef Huysmans critically engages with theoretical developments in international relations and security studies to develop a fresh conceptual framework for studying security. As weapons of mass destruction become a public talking point, and controlling the free movement of people a national security priority, he argues that security policies and responses do not appear out of the blue, but are part of a continuous and gradual process, pre-structured by previous developments. Huysmans examines the processes of securitization and explores how an issue, on the basis of the distribution and administration of fear, becomes a security policy. Applying this theory, he then provides a detailed analysis of migration, asylum and refuge in the European Union. Theoretically sophisticated, yet entirely accessible, this volume makes an important contribution to the study of security, migration and European politics.
