Foreign Policy Analysis and Securitization
(2024) p.172-188- Abstract
- To what extent can securitization theory help us to engage with the puzzles and problems of foreign policy analysis (FPA)? And how can FPA scholarship contribute to the development of the assumptions of securitization? This chapter will probe these questions and attempt to demonstrate that these seemingly disparate research traditions indeed both complement and inform one another. Securitization theory has habitually been viewed as a theory of international relations (IR) rather than FPA. However, hot topics such as climate change, immigration, and epidemics increasingly become the core of both research fields. Just as the problem-driven and agency focus of FPA research goes hand in hand with the central tenets of securitization,... (More)
