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. "
