“…In the post-war period this growth has been reflected in the expansion of security and intelligence studies into, for example, the political, societal, economic, environmental and religious domains (Gearon 2019, 329). In this sense, security is seen as part of wider modes of governance (rather than a concern confined to the military), a framing found in the field of Security Studies, in which the 'logic of routine' model of understanding securitisation draws on Foucault and Bourdieu (Bourbeau 2015). In this model, securitisation is seen as 'a process of establishing and inscribing meaning through governmentality and practices', e.g.…”

In recent years a tightening of safeguarding legislation and protocols that overlap with anti-terror legislation have given particular shape to discourses and practices of risk management and early intervention, particularly in early childhood education and parenting. Such developments have taken place in a context in which digital technology has become ubiquitous, enabling the role of surveillance in modes of governing to take on new forms. Here as well as giving an overview of literature on the digital in general, we also focus more specifically on the parent-child relationship and the use of digital technology by parents. We then survey recent theorisations of securitisation from other fields, but again focus specifically on its relation to childhood and parenting. We bring digitisation and securitisation together here to consider how the particular form of individualisation produced today is recasting how we think about parents, teachers and children.

“…Adopting the Copenhagen School's approach to securitisation as a speech act, I focus on political discourses and carry out a critical discourse analysis. In using the Copenhagen School, I am aware of some of its limitations: it excludes other forms of securitisation, focuses on actors with authority, and adopts a logic of exceptions (Bourbeau, 2015;McDonald, 2008). However, looking at speech acts allows for the possibility of tracing variations of (de)securitisation processes over relatively short periods of time (the two decades after the GFA) by relevant political actors.…”

“…It is also possible to detect how some actors develop overlapping (de)securitisation moves. Other approaches, like the Paris School which looks at routine and patterned practices, make it more difficult to distinguish changes and identify securitising actors (Bourbeau, 2015). Furthermore, I should stress that I consider political discourses as 'cultural texts' which display narratives and classifications that symbolically construct social reality (Shore & Wright, 1997).…”

Fear of Others: Processes of (De)Securitisation in Northern Ireland

Situated at the junction between the field of ethnic politics, security studies, and migration, this paper analyses processes of (de)securitisation in Northern Ireland. The country is characterised by its violent past, consociational power-sharing institutions, experience with periods of political instability, and the recent arrival of several thousand people from other EU and non-EU countries. As a case study, Northern Ireland epitomises the problems of divided societies and the challenges posed by the presence of competing nationalisms in multinational and ever more diversifying countries. This paper applies the concept of (de)securitisation to analyse the extent to which past conflicts and tensions have been overcome; uncovering who or what is perceived as a threat, according to which terms, and how this affects majority-minority relations. To conduct the analysis, I adopt the Copenhagen School understanding of securitisation as a speech act. I use a qualitative methodology, examining (de)securitising discourses that emerged in the party programmes of the main political forces which won seats in the Northern Ireland Assembly in 2017 and in previous elections since 1998. I look at the evolution and transformation of such discourses since the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 to today, bringing to light the different security narratives that characterise Northern Ireland concerning the divisions and relationship among its communities and the broader issue of diversity.

“…A distinction is sometimes made between security as 'objective circumstances' and 'subjective feelings of security', which are easier to measure in surveys. 75 The former refers to the absence of actual threats to our way of life, the latter to the absence of a fear of that way of life being undermined. Furthermore, the threat can relate to attainments of a material nature (for example, access to work, housing or education), but also to idealistic attainments (e.g., values and customs that are taken for granted).…”

The classical view of security as relating to nation states and the protection of their territory still lies at the heart of thinking about national and international security. Defence in the sense of national defence is a key task of the nation state and for centuries the sovereignty of states has formed the basis of the international legal order. Today, however, security encompasses more than protecting the state's territory against military aggression by another state, as is illustrated in Fig. 2.1. With globalisation and the emergence of new economic powers, for example, the relationship between economic and military security has become a far more prominent issue. In an interconnected world, flow security-safeguarding global flows of goods and services, infrastructural hubs and systems-is of the utmost importance. In a world of transnational connections, protecting national territory against hostile armies is not enough. Moreover, since the 1980s, and to an even greater extent since the end of the Cold War, there has been a significant increase in concern for human rights and for economic and social development (human security). After all, physical violence is partially explained by the structural violence as a result of disadvantaged social circumstances. National and international security are therefore linked to the security of the society and the individual. The security of the nation state is not a goal in itself, but is for the benefit of the society. Particularly since 11 September 2001, the blurring of the boundaries between internal and external security has also entered the debate about security policy 1 with the realisation that non-state actors such as Al Qaida and Da'esh have come to form part of the landscape of security and insecurity.
