Strategie Culture, Securitisation and the Use of Force

This book investigates, and explains, the extent to which different liberal democracies have resorted to the use of force since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The responses of democratic states throughout the world to the September 2001 terrorist attacks have varied greatly. This book analyses the various factors that had an impact on decisions on the use of force by governments of liberal democratic states. It seeks to explain differences in the security policies and practices of Australia, Canada, France, Germany and the UK regarding the war in Afghanistan, domestic counterterrorism measures and the Iraq War. To this end, the book combines the concepts of strategic culture and securitisation into a theoretical model that disentangles the individual structural and agential causes of the use of force by the state and sequentially analyses the impact of each causal component on the other. It argues that the norms of a strategic culture shape securitisation processes of different expressions, which then bring about distinct modes of the use of force in individual security policy decisions. While governments can also deviate from the constraints of a strategic culture, this is likely to encounter a strong reaction from large parts of the population which in turn can lead to a long-term change in strategic culture.

This book will be of much interest to students of strategic culture, securitisation, European politics, security studies and IR in general.

PART III

This book is based on my PhD dissertation, which has been submitted to and approved by the Center for Comparative and International Studies of ETH Zurich. The process of writing a dissertation is at times an ecstatic and exhilarating experience. At other times it is a lonely and seemingly never-ending process. Nevertheless, it is a great privilege to be engaged in it.

A fundamental prerequisite for the successful conclusion of the writing process were those who offered me their support, interest and care throughout this process and especially in the many crucial moments when these were in dire need. It is impossible for me to imagine how I could ever have reached the point of submitting it for examination without the unswerving support of numerous colleagues, friends, family members and loved ones. Each of them deserves my wholehearted gratitude. First among these, I thank my supervisor, Prof. Andreas Wenger, for having entrusted me with the task of writing a dissertation many years ago, and for having supported me with great patience and understanding throughout my pursuit of this difficult task. I would also like to thank Prof. Christopher Daase and Prof. Frank Schimmelfennig for agreeing to co-supervise and examine the dissertation. Furthermore, I thank Victor Mauer for having inspired and supported me in the early stages of the writing process. I also thank Johannes Heisig for his help and advice in trimming down the book manuscript as well as two anonymous reviewers for their constructive feedback on the book manuscript.
