Weapons of mass destruction grabbed public interest and controlling the free movement of people became a national security priority. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this volume, Jef Huysmans critically engages with theoretical developments in international relations and security studies to develop a conceptual framework for studying security. He 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. He examines this process of securitization and explores how an issue, on the basis of the distribution and administration of fear, becomes a security policy. Huysmans then applies this theory to provide a detailed analysis of migration, asylum and refuge in the European Union. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis theoretically sophisticated, yet accessible volume, makes an important contribution to the study of security, migration and European politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jef Huysmans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415361249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415361248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.34w x 0.70d","brand":"Jef Huysmans","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064903676159,"sku":"9780415361248","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1a3b57ef-1b80-437c-a87d-56df755d63ce.jpg?v=1768671813","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-insecurity-jef-huysmans-9780415361248","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
