Abstract
This book set out to develop an alternative securitization framework to help resolve the shortcomings in the original framework. Throughout the reexploration of existing debates on securitization theory, the major shortcomings of the theory were repackaged, including the lack of operationalization and differentiation, together with the presence of Eurocentrism of securitization theory in general, and the three core elements, namely “speech acts,” “emergency measures,” and “audience acceptance,” in particular.1 By suggesting a modified securitization model, this book also aims to understand the operation of securitization in real-world public policy-making processes by investigating HIV/AIDS securitization in two non-European countries, China and India, in a comparative perspective.
