It is now beyond doubt that attention to the 'security-development nexus' has become commonplace in national and global policymaking. However, how 'the nexus' is differently imbued with meaning and ultimately employed remains underexplored. In this article, we suggest a possible framework for mapping the multiple understandings that underlie specific articulations of 'the nexus' in order to reveal the ways in which meaning may shift in different (yet seemingly similar) discourses. To this end, we draw upon familiar stories about 'development' and 'security', and we offer a brief reading of ways in which 'the nexus' is articulated in policy texts. Ultimately, this framework may hint at what such articulations may imply for the policy agenda
