Wha’s like us? The desecuritisation of migration as ontological security-seeking in Scotland
Over the last decade, the Scottish Government have pursued a positive, highly visible immigration politics, despite Scotland lacking formal immigration powers and being enveloped within a United Kingdom that has simultaneously pursued an increasingly securitised approach. With securitisation intensifying globally, coupled with a rise in, and political success of, anti-immigration parties and actors, this article investigates the question of why t…
Understanding Securitization Success
Despite prolific critique, development, and refinement of securitization theory, there is still no clear understanding of what “success” means. Whether securitization happens or not (and in what form, by what means, and to what extent) is fundamental to understanding (de)securitization contests. To advance theoretical stalemates that have resulted in no clear measure of securitization success, failure, or the grey areas in between, we distill thr…
Business as usual like never before! Continuity, rupture and anxiety management in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum campaign
Ontological security-seeking has traditionally been considered to rest upon the stability and continuity of core auto-biographical narratives and everyday routines. ‘Critical situations’ which fundamentally destabilise these foundations of ontological security have thus hitherto carried a negative valence. Constitutional referenda proposing a radical re-organisation of collective political identities and daily life, therefore, are intriguing. A s…
‘We are, by nature, a tolerant people’
The ‘securitisation’ of migration is argued to rest on a process of framing migrants as a threat to key values, principally identity. Yet, the socially constructed nature of ‘identity’ implies the potential for dual usage: support and contestation of the security frame. Using the UK as an illustrative case, this overlooked dynamic is explored through mixed-methods, incorporating elite political and religious discourse (2005–2015) and original pub…
Contesting security
The security-migration nexus is ubiquitous throughout Europe and beyond. An avalanche of scholarship has explored the construction of migration as a security threat in general and, in the UK, the creation of the ‘hostile environment’ in particular – the problematic nature of each being well documented. Yet, far less attention has been paid to activities that contest this process. Deploying Balzacq's four modalities of contestation – desecuritisat…
Diversity and Perceptions of Immigration
The question of whether high immigration produces anti-immigration hostility has vexed researchers across multiple disciplines for decades. And yet, understanding this relationship is crucial for countries dependant on immigrant labour but concerned about its impact on social cohesion. Absent from most of this research are theories about the impact of early-years socialisation conditions on contemporary attitudes. Using the British sample of the …

Any room at the inn? The impact of religious elite discourse on immigration attitudes in the United Kingdom
To date, scholarship has neglected the role of elite cues in shaping immigration attitudes. When included, attention has been limited to political elites and parties. Yet, other societal actors have the potential to shape attitudes. This article employs mixed methods to analyse the discourse of the Church of England and attempts to uncover whether this discourse impacts the immigration attitudes of ‘their’ audience in the United Kingdom during 20…
Religious discrimination in Scotland
A article in Ethinic and Racial Studies by Walls and Williams makes inferences about religious discrimination in employment from interview data. We question the validity of treating lay people as experts and present large-scale data from two recent surveys and the 2001 Census which suggest that sectarianism is more a social myth than a social reality
Secretarianism and Municipal Housing Allocation in Glasgow
This article assesses whether or not sectarian practices existed in the allocation of municipal housing in Glasgow during the inter-war and post war periods of the twentieth century. Population and parish data, and previously unpublished local government material, are examined to assist in an investigation that has not been considered in the previous research on sectarianism in Scotland. The public debate hosted by the broadsheet letters1 pages …
