Weapons of mass destruction grabbed public interest and controlling the free movement of people became a national security priority. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis theoretically sophisticated, yet accessible volume, makes an important contribution to the study of security, migration and European politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54261520335192,"sku":"9780415361248","price":210.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415361248_343811eb-4f78-46d7-a065-b7f80f701a40.jpg?v=1772164840","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/politics-of-insecurity-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
