Xavier Guillaume - Citizenship and Security: the constitution of political being

CITIZENSHIP AND SECURITY

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 securitizing practices.

In light of contemporary issues and events such as human rights regimes, terrorism, identity control, commercialization of security, diaspora, and border policies, this book addresses a citizenship deficit in security studies. The chapters introduce several key political themes that characterize the interplays between citizenship and security: changes in citizenship regimes, the renewed insecurity of citizenshipstate 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.

Citizenship and Security will be of interest to scholars of security studies and security politics, citizenship studies, and international relations.

Xavier Guillaume is Lecturer in International Relations at the University of Edinburgh, UK.

Jef Huysmans is Professor of Security Studies in the Department of Politics and International Studies (POLIS) at the Open University in Milton Keynes, UK.
