This edited volume uses a 'constructivist/reflexive' approach to
address critical infrastructure protection (CIP), a central
political practice associated with national security. The politics
of CIP, and the construction of the threat they are meant to
counter, effectively establish a powerful discursive connection
between that the traditional and normal conditions for day-to-day
politics and the exceptional dynamics of national security.
Combining political theory and empirical case studies, this volume
addresses key issues related to protection and the governance of
insecurity in the contemporary world. The contributors track the
transformation and evolution of critical infrastructures (and
closely related issues of homeland security) into a security
problem, and analyze how practices associated with CIP constitute,
and are an expression of, changing notions of security and
insecurity. The book explores aspects of 'securitisation' as well
as at practices, audiences, and contexts that enable and constrain
the production of the specific form of governmentality that CIP
exemplifies. It also explores the rationalities at play, the
effects of these security practices, and the implications for our
understanding of security and politics today.
