Securitization, three streams model and biodiversity in the Global South
Biodiversity conservation is one of the most contentious issues in the Global South, particularly political authority's methods and objectives of managing conservation. This paper studies how political authority deals with biodiversity conservation, and how different stakeholders respond to the conservation policy. In doing so, the study employs the securitization framework and blends it with the Three Streams Model to find out the political auth…
Securitization as a context-changing speech act
Securitization theory is the most well-known Nordic contribution to the study of security. A key division within its 35-year-long history of debate is its bifurcation into two main interpretative communities, those of the ‘philosophical’ and ‘sociological’ interpretations of securitization theory. The present article engages with this division by examining the issue of context and the transformative capacities of speech acts, and discusses what i…
From a descriptive label to a guiding principle
Why did it take so long for the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to adopt the concept of national security (国家安全, guójiā ānquán ) into its political lexicon? The present article is the first to fully uncover the conceptual roots of national security in the PRC in order to show the conditions of possibility necessary for the concept to gain performative political power in its political discourse. Looking at the conceptual history of security shows…
Chinese Macrosecuritization
This book provides a holistic picture of Chinese global security discourses, with a focus on macrosecuritizations. The work examines how the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has aligned itself within global security discourses. This is approached through the theory of securitization, specifically by using the notion of macrosecuritization as the lens for its analysis. The book offers the first full account of Chinese macrosecuritization discourse…
Campus Carry and Active-Shooter-Event Emotion Management
This forum entry approaches the issue of Campus Carry from the viewpoint of emotion management with regard to active-shooter events. Self-defense has become the most prominent reason for owning and carrying a firearm in the Unites States in the same period that mass shootings have continued to increase. At the same time, active-shooter drills and rehearsals have become a generational experience for students. The essay examines social imaginaries …
Meta-information censorship and the creation of the Chinanet Bubble
The question of who controls meta-information online has become a hot-button issue with profound political implications. The present article explores how state-led online censorship in the People’s Republic of China can create information bubbles, and how it is possible to analyze them. The article is based on a systematic comparison between 3,000 Google.com and Baidu.com image search results on a series of selected, potentially sensitive, keywor…

Making Peace Visible
Peace is not an absence, but rather a visibly identifiable set of norms. This visualization can take place through internationally recognized signs such as the white flag and the blue helmet. These representations of norms are united in their ability to be distinguished from similar objects or signs through their use of colors. The identificatory use of color avoids confusion between parties embroiled in a conflict, making an organization or envo…
The politics of securitized technology
This is a reply to:Lacy, M. 2018. “Securitization and the global politics of cybersecurity.” Global Discourse 8 (1): 100–115. https://doi.org/10.1080/23269995.2017.1415082
Let's just say we’d like to avoid any great power entanglements
Previous studies on securitization in China have shown how security discourses can have various domestic political functions, how even security issues can be contested, and how China engages with the securitization moves of neighbouring states. Despite this growing literature, there is however no general view of desecuritization as a part of Chinese foreign policy towards the major powers. To fill this gap, the present article examines desecuriti…
To boldly torture where no one has tortured before – Star Trek and the transformation of the ‘progressive’ social imaginary of torture in the United States
Star Trek has become a staple for studying the interrelations of popular culture and international politics. In the literature on Star Trek and international politics, this quintessential component of American popular television, and culture beyond, has been seen to represent ‘progressiveness’ in many respects (e.g. race relations and women's liberation). In the present article, this perception and the long duration of the various shows under the…
Deterring Things with Words
As Cold War historians and fans of the film Doctor Strangelove know, deterrence can be a tricky business. The complexity of deterrence and the lack of attention that has been paid to its social effects have too often left one of its forms – nuclear deterrence – depoliticized, uncontested, and thus a danger to us all. I argue in this article that speech act theory can provide insights into deterrence and its concomitant political effects. It can b…
Paint it black
The modern battlefield is a judicial and social space as well as a spatio-temporal designation that has evolved through time. In this article, we argue that the shifts in the social meaning of what the battlefield is — from a ‘deeply social marker of war’s limitation’ (Mégret, 2011: 133) to a hunting ground of a party over its game — can be seen in the colour-use on the battlefield. More specifically, we argue that the shift in the use of colours…
The Lexicon of Fear
This article examines how Chinese practices of security governmentality are enacted in everyday online censorship and surveillance/dataveillance of word flows in the Chinese internet. Our analysis of crowdsourced lists of filtered words on the Sina Weibo microblog shows that search engine filtering is based on a two-layer system where short-lived political incidents tend to be filtered for brief periods of time, while words that are conducive to …
Chromatology of security
The agenda of this article is to highlight how security becomes intelligible, is enacted, contested and (re)appropriated in part through colour use. Even though colours are a natural phenomenon, their meanings are societal products, and part of our constructed visibilities. These can be investigated through chromatology, the study of colour in relation to people. We illustrate this by applying multimodal social semiotics to view highly securitize…
Security, resilience and desecuritization
In its current configuration, Security Studies tends to analyse the relationship between security, resilience and non-security politics in cases where the issue of concern has been securitized, when some issue already has the status function and label of a security issue. The literature consistently frames desecuritization and resilience as processes that take place after an issue has been securitized. The overarching objective of this article is…

A Timely Prophet? The Doomsday Clock as a Visualization of Securitization Moves with a Global Referent Object
There have been numerous calls to include images in the analysis of securitization and the social construction of security issues. The present article answers these calls by examining a longstanding process of securitization in which speech acts have been interwoven with a powerful symbol. Looking into the past and a visualization of possible futures, the article traces the resets of the so-called Doomsday Clock of the Atomic Scientists as securi…
Regime Transition and the Chinese Politics of Technology
The article employs the concepts of the politics of technology and regime transition for analysing the connection between political power and the application of technology in contemporary Chinese history. Examining the Maoist policy of 'mass science' and the contemporary Chinese Communist Party (CCP) policies on information and communication technologies, and Internet control, shows how regime-determined policy goals, namely social transformation…
Illocutionary Logic and Strands of Securitization
Convincing research programmes often use a variety of data from cases in different contexts; in order to reach a wider understanding, the models and hypothesis of securitization studies have to be applied to broad groups of cases. The research programme of securitization studies is formed around the leading idea of securitization being a social process achieved through speech acts. I argue that by explicating the concept of securitization through…
