The provision of security has traditionally constituted one of the key domains of modern statehood. Security policy tends to operate in a climate of fear that justifies exceptional measures such as the expansion of state powers at home or the use of military force abroad. Research in human geography has problematized these practices and tried to understand the ways in which society is governed in the name of security. In doing so, geographers have been particularly vocal in exploring issues such as border, urban, energy, environmental and biosecurity, interrogating them at a whole range of different scales, from the body to the globe. Particularly useful debates on security have emerged in relation to the cognate concepts of geopolitics, human security, securitization, risk, and biopolitics.
