What does security look like? Exploring interpretive photography as method
IR’s visual turn has emphasised visual analysis over visual method, centring images of war and crisis. Meanwhile security studies centres great power politics and moments of rupture. Together, they reinforce a dominant image of security as spectacular. This article unites two ethnographic projects focused on everyday security: one examining everyday security landscapes in China, and one examining health security at the UK border. Both found a gap…
Towards a global security studies: What can looking at China tell us about the concept of security
Existing scholarship has demonstrated that theorising about security is Eurocentric. This leaves us with a partial account of the concept of security, which is presented as universal. This in turn generates explanatory problems because we are only seeing part of the picture. Yet there have been few attempts to move beyond critiques of Eurocentrism to examine the concept of security ‘elsewhere’. This paper takes China as its starting point, asking…
The Everyday Life of Security: Capturing Space, Practice, and Affect
Security shapes everyday life, but despite a growing literature on everyday security there is no consensus on the meaning of the 'everyday.' At the same time, the research methods that dominate the field are designed to study elites and high politics. This paper does two things. First, it brings together and synthesizes the existing literature on everyday security to argue that we should think about the everyday life of security as constituted ac…
Controlling feeding practices and maternal migrant background: An analysis of a multicultural sample
Objective Parental feeding practices shape children’s relationships with food and eating. Feeding is embedded socioculturally in values and attitudes related to food and parenting. However, few studies have examined associations between parental feeding practices and migrant background. Design Cross-sectional study. Parental feeding practices (restriction, pressure to eat, monitoring) were assessed using the Child Feeding Questionnaire. Differenc…
Pragmatism, Practice and the Value of Security 1
This chapter discusses that a pragmatic practice-centred approach provides a way to overcome existing divisions in ethical security studies. It presents pragmatism as a path for moving beyond the current gridlock. It proceeds in three parts: it sketches the central divisions in studies of ethics and security; it then outlines pragmatism and how it has been used in IR; and lastly it considers how this can help us bridge divisions and move forward …

Securitization in Chinese climate and energy politics
This article provides an overview of securitization in Chinese climate and energy debates. Scholars have debated the merits as well as the potentially problematic implications of securitization, or framing issues as ‘security,’ since the early 1990s. Early concern focused on the potential problems with linking environmental issues with ‘security,’ and the debate has since also turned specifically to the climate and energy. However, it is only rec…
What is the value of security? Contextualising the negative/positive debate
Review of International Studies has seen a debate over the value of security. At its heart this is a debate about ethics: concerning the extent to which security is a ‘good’ and whether or not security politics produces the kind of world we want. More recent contributions focus on the extent to which security is ‘positive’ or ‘negative’. However, this article argues that the existing debate is limited and confusing: key authors use the terms ‘pos…
Rethinking energy, climate and security: A critical analysis of energy security in the US
Low parental economic capital and low grandparental social support are closely associated with obesity in preschool-aged children. Preliminary findings
Comparing different treatment approaches to childhood obesity in preschoolers. Preliminary results of the More and Less study, a randomized controlled trial
Red Storm Ahead’: Securitisation of Energy in US–China Relations
Energy is becoming more and more important to state survival and economic development, and is increasingly considered an issue of ‘national security’. In 2005, the bid by China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) for US energy company Unocal was securitised by US elite actors, who called for presidential action on the grounds of ‘national security’. This article argues that securitisation of energy is problematic, as it impedes cooperation …
