Securitization Theory and the Copenhagen School

2014
Securitization was developed by the Copenhagen School of Barry Buzan, Ole Wœver, Jaap de Wilde and others, so called because most writings emerged at the Conflict and Peace Research Institute (COPRI) in Copenhagen in the 1990s. The concept of securitization is currently still most fully developed in Security: A New Framework for Analysis (1998), which,

Introduction: ‘What kind of theory – if any – is securitization?’

International Relations, 2015
When international affairs seemed stuck in a state of (cold) war, how could politics regain its place? How could diplomacy get back to center stage, when it was asked to establish a common language for assessing (if disa-greeing about) events and finding compromises, while being, paradoxically, only able to function if such shared understandings ...

7. Securitization Theory

This chapter introduces securitisation theory, explaining its development as a constructivist framework that examines how issues become framed as security threats based on subjective perceptions rather than objective realities.

Does Securitization Increase Risk: A Theory of Loan Securitization, Reputation, and Credit Screening

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015
How does securitization affect the risk of the loans that are originated for securitization? While the standard view is that the originate-to-distribute (OTD) model weakens the originator's screening incentives and leads to higher risk, theories on reputation suggest that an originator's concern about its ability to return to the market would prevent ...

Securitization Theory: A Theoretical Framework

2017
Studies on security and conflict in Indonesia have largely relied on culturalists (those who “emphasize the causal and constitutive role of cultural processes and systems of signification”) and objectivists (those who see “a homogeneous form of human subjectivity across time and space”) traditions (Steinmetz 1999).

Securitization Theory: A Matter of Words

2014
This chapter explores the genesis of the Securitization Theory — its ontological origin and epistemological development; its historical and intellectual roots. It addresses fundamental questions as to what the theory ‘does’, how it ‘does it’ and what steps and processes are essential to make the theory ‘work’ — and as such be effective. It explores who

The continuing evolution of securitization theory

2010
In the decade and a half since its initial formulation and development, securitization theory has evolved into a remarkably broad and vibrant area of research. Indeed, it is difficult to think of another perspective in security studies that could embrace (and virtually none that has embraced) the analysis of military affairs, the environment, gender ...
