(In-)Security and the Production of International Relations

This book provides a framework for analysing the interplay between securitisation and foreign affairs, reconnecting critical security studies with traditional IR concerns about interstate relations.

What happens to foreign policymaking when actors, things or processes are presented as threats? This book explains state behaviour on the basis of a reflexive framework of insecurity politics, and argues that governments act on the knowledge of international danger available in their societies, but that such knowledge is organised by markedly varying ideas of who threatens whom and how. The book develops this argument and illustrates it by means of various European case studies. Moving across European history and space, these case studies show how securitisation has projected evolving and often contested local ideas of the organisation of international insecurity, and how such knowledges of world politics have then conditioned foreign policymaking on their own terms.

With its focus on insecurity politics, the book provides new perspectives for the study of international security. Moving the discipline from systemic theorising to a theory of international systematisation, it shows how world politics is, in practice, often conceived in different ways than that assumed by IR theory. By the same token, by depicting national insecurity as a matter of political construction, the book also raises the challenging question of whether certain projections of insecurity may be considered more warranted than others.

This book will be of much interest to students of critical security studies, European politics, foreign policy and IR, in general.

Jonas Hagmann is Senior Researcher at the Center for Security Studies, ETH Zrich, Switzerland, and has a PhD in International Relations from the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva.

Introduction

Terrorism puts lives at risk; it imposes large costs; it seeks to undermine the openness and tolerance of our societies, and it poses a growing strategic threat to the whole of Europe. Increasingly, terrorist movements are well-resourced, connected by electronic networks, and are willing to use unlimited violence to cause massive casualties [...]. Europe is both a target and a base for such terrorism: European countries are targets and have been attacked. Logistical bases for Al Qaeda cells have been uncovered in the UK, Italy, Germany, Spain and Belgium. Concerted European action is indispensable.

(European Security Strategy 2003: 3)

The strategic consequences of this [previously described] evolution [of the international security context] have deep impact on the security of France and its partners from the European Union. Whereas the danger of a major upheaval in Europe is distant today, the Europeans cannot ignore the instability of the regions surrounding them, regions with which they are intimately connected. Taking part in and profiting from globalisation, they are confronting an increasing number of major risks. In the same time, given the permeability of European territory, they are also vulnerable to the impact of threats from abroad. A major crisis in Asia, for instance, would have serious economic, commercial and financial consequences for Europe.

(Gouvernement Franais 2013: 30)

(In-)security as knowledge politics

It has become popular practice in recent years for Western capitals to sketch a wide range of policy themes in terms of security. Whether the object of concern is terrorism, migration, climate change or financial stability notions of public, national or international insecurity abound in European and North American politics, and rarely are they withdrawn from political agendas again. Yet, not only are security challenges seen to proliferate in these regions. Many of these relatively novel security narratives are also used to describe a world composed of transnational dangers. More often than not, contemporary threats such as migration, climate change or financial instability are argued to represent collective global, North Atlantic or at least regional European policy challenges. According to this view, the Western security environment not only knows a lot of dangers distinct foreign policy strategies are argued to flow from this security context as well, as collective security problems are claimed to demand collaborative security responses.
