Abstract
This research paper aims to investigate, develop and evaluate how threat constructions are framed. This is done by combining securitization theory, framing and Lennart Hellspong’s method of analysis. These three all aim to investigate how frames can be deconstructed in order to better understand how they were made in the first place. By combining the three, they provide a better explanation for how an issue can be framed as a matter of securitization. This combination is thoroughly explored in chapter two, where after chapter three more specifically revolve around choice of method and material. In order to test the ability of the analytical tool, it is then applied to an empirical study regarding the construction of cyber threat within the... (More)

This combination is thoroughly explored in chapter two, where after chapter three more specifically revolve around choice of method and material. In order to test the ability of the analytical tool, it is then applied to an empirical study regarding the construction of cyber threat within the realm of security policy. The need to develop an analytical tool has been argued by numerous previous researchers as current methods are vague and undertheorized. Understanding how threat constructions are made is also essential in order to understand the intention of the actors, as well as what outcomes such constructions implies. The result from the research paper is that framing and Hellspong made substantial contributions to the analysis, but further development still is needed. (Less)
