Community, Citizenship and the 'War on Terror' - Security and Insecurity (Hardcover, New): Patricia Noxolo, Jef... Community, Citizenship and the 'War on Terror' - Security and Insecurity (Hardcover, New)
Patricia Noxolo, Jef Huysmans
R2,865 Discovery Miles 28 650 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In the context of the 'global war on terror, ' the issue of security has come to affect more and more intimate elements of people's everyday lives. This is the starting point of this interdisciplinary collection, which focuses on how the line between security and insecurity is negotiated through changing concepts of 'community' and 'citizenship.'

Critical Security Methods - New frameworks for analysis (Hardcover): Claudia Aradau, Jef Huysmans, Andrew Neal, Nadine Voelkner Critical Security Methods - New frameworks for analysis (Hardcover)
Claudia Aradau, Jef Huysmans, Andrew Neal, Nadine Voelkner
R4,479 Discovery Miles 44 790 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Critical Security Methods offers a new approach to research methods in critical security studies.

It argues that methods are not simply tools to bridge the gap between security theory and security practice. Rather, to practice methods critically means engaging in a more free and experimental interplay between theory, methods and practice. This recognises that the security practices we research are often methods in their own right, as forms of surveillance, data mining, visualisation, and so on, and that our own research methods are themselves practices that intervene and interfere in those sites of security and insecurity.

Against the familiar methdological language of rigour, detachment and procedural consistency, "Critical Security Methods "reclaims the idea of method as experiment. The chapters offer a series of methodological experimentations that assemble concepts, theory and empirical cases into new frameworks for critical security research. They show how critical engagement and methodological innovation can be practiced as interventions into diverse instances of insecurity and securitisation, including airports, drug trafficking, peasant struggles, biometrics and police kettling.

The book will be a valuable resource for students and researchers in critical security studies, politics and international relations.

Security Unbound - Enacting Democratic Limits (Hardcover): Jef Huysmans Security Unbound - Enacting Democratic Limits (Hardcover)
Jef Huysmans
R4,462 Discovery Miles 44 620 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Security concerns have mushroomed. Increasingly numerous areas of life are governed by security policies and technologies. Security Unbound argues that when insecurities pervade how we relate to our neighbours, how we perceive international politics, how governments formulate policies, at stake is not our security but our democracy. Security is not in the first instance a right or value but a practice that challenges democratic institutions and actions. We are familiar with emergency policies in the name of national security challenging parliamentary processes, the space for political dissent, and fundamental rights. Yet, security practice and technology pervade society heavily in very mundane ways without raising national security crises, in particular through surveillance technology and the management of risks and uncertainties in many areas of life. These more diffuse security practices create societies in which suspicion becomes a default way of relating and governing relations, ranging from neighbourhood relations over financial transactions to cross border mobility. Security Unbound demonstrates that governing through suspicion poses serious challenges to democratic practice. Some of these challenges are familiar, such as the erosion of the right to privacy; others are less so, such as the post-human challenge to citizenship. Security unbound provokes us to see that the democratic political stake today is not our security but preventing insecurity from becoming the organising principle of political and social life.

Citizenship and Security - The Constitution of Political Being (Paperback): Xavier Guillaume, Jef Huysmans Citizenship and Security - The Constitution of Political Being (Paperback)
Xavier Guillaume, Jef Huysmans
R1,612 Discovery Miles 16 120 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book engages the intense relationship between citizenship and security in modern politics. It focuses on questions of citizenship in security analysis in order to critically evaluate how political being is and can be constituted in relation to securitising practices.

In light of contemporary issues and events such as human rights regimes, terrorism, identity control, commercialisation of security, diaspora, and border policies, this book addresses a citizenship deficit in security studies. The chapters introduce several key political themes that characterise the interplays between citizenship and security: changes in citizenship regimes, the renewed insecurity of citizenship-state relations, the emerging ways by which the political and national communities are crafted, and the ways democratic societies and regimes react in times of insecurity. Approaching citizenship as both a governmental practice and a resource of political contestation, the book aims to highlight what political challenges and contestations are created in situations where security intensely meets citizenship today.

This book will be of interest to scholars of security studies and security politics, citizenship studies, and international relations.

The Politics of Protection - Sites of Insecurity and Political Agency (Paperback): Jef Huysmans, Andrew Dobson, Raia Prokhovnik The Politics of Protection - Sites of Insecurity and Political Agency (Paperback)
Jef Huysmans, Andrew Dobson, Raia Prokhovnik
R1,793 Discovery Miles 17 930 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This new book shows how from the end of the Cold War, the security agenda has been transformed and redefined, academically and politically.

It focuses on the theme of protection. It moves away from the dominant question of whom or what is threatening to the crucial questions of who is to be protected, and in the case of conflicting claims, who has the capacity to define whose needs prevail.
It also poses the question of political agency in relation to some of the most significant questions raised in relation to the governance of insecurity and protection in the contemporary world. The authors identify and explore issues that challenge or raise a number of questions about the traditional notion that states are to protect their citizens through retaining a monopoly over the legitimate use of violence.

The Politics of Insecurity - Fear, Migration and Asylum in the EU (Hardcover): Jef Huysmans The Politics of Insecurity - Fear, Migration and Asylum in the EU (Hardcover)
Jef Huysmans
R4,918 Discovery Miles 49 180 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The act of violence of 9/11 changed the global security agenda, catapulting terrorism to the top of the agenda. Weapons of mass destruction grabbed public interest and controlling the free movement of people became a national security priority.
In this volume, Jef Huysmans critically engages with theoretical developments in international relations and security studies to develop a conceptual framework for studying security. He argues that security policies and responses do not appear out of the blue, but are part of a continuous and gradual process, pre-structured by previous developments. He examines this process of securitization and explores how an issue, on the basis of the distribution and administration of fear, becomes a security policy. Huysmans then applies this theory to provide a detailed analysis of migration, asylum and refuge in the European Union.
This theoretically sophisticated, yet accessible volume, makes an important contribution to the study of security, migration and European politics.
