"In this volume, Jef Huysmans critically engages with theoretical developments in international relations and security studies to develop a fresh conceptual framework for studying security." "Huysmans 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. Huysmans examines the processes of securitization and explores how an issue, on the basis of the distribution and administration of fear, becomes a security policy. Applying this theory, he then provides a detailed analysis of migration, asylum and refuge in the European Union."--Jacket.
