This book explores how language constructs the meaning and praxis
of security in the 21st century. Combining the latest critical
theories in poststructuralist and political philosophy with
discourse analysis techniques, it uses corpus tools to investigate
four collections of documents harvested from national and
international security organisations. This interdisciplinary
approach provides insights into the ways in which discourse has
been mobilised to construct a strategic response to major terrorist
attacks and geo-political events. The authors identify the way in
which it is used to realize tactics of governmentality and form
security as a discipline. This at once constructs a state of
exception while also adhering to the principles of liberalism. This
insightful study will be of particular interest to students and
scholars of subjects such as applied linguistics, political
science, security studies and international relations, with
additional relevance to other areas including law, criminology,
sociology and economics.
