  • First Online:
The Securitisation of Climate Change and the Governmentalisation of Security

Part of the book series: New Security Challenges ((NSECH))

  • 984 Accesses

Abstract

The first part of this chapter discusses how the security implications of climate change have become an issue in academic and political debates and how this relates to the main puzzle of the book, that is, to understand multiple securitisations and their political effects. The second part introduces a novel theoretical approach to securitisation. Based on Foucault’s ‘power triangle’, the chapter develops three ideal-typical climate security discourses that guide the empirical analysis. The chapter argues that a power-centred approach can better grasp the manifold forms of securitisation in contemporary political debates because it helps to understand the continuous transformation of security, sheds light on the constitution of security subjects and objects, and contextualises the bidirectional political and the normative consequences of linking non-traditional issues to security.

Notes

  1. 1.

    I understand governance in a wider sense as constituting and arranging actors around a discursively constructed ‘governance-object’ (Methmann 2014, p. 10; Corry 2010).

  2. 2.

    In Foucault’s writing, he uses the term ‘governmental management’, which, despite some differences, sometimes is also equated with ‘bio power’ (Kelly 2009, p. 60; Foucault 2006b, p. 161). However, for better comparability with the other power forms and in order to delineate my approach from the existing literature, I use the term ‘governmental power’ throughout this book.

  3. 3.

    see Daase and Kessler (2007), Aradau and van Munster (2008), Boyle and Haggerty (2012), Hameiri and Jones (2013), Hameiri (2008).

  4. 4.

    I focus on ‘discourses’ and not ‘dispositives’ due to several reasons. Most importantly, I concur with several other scholars that there is no clear-cut boundary between discourses and dispositives as both try to understand the constitution of subjects and objects of governance and emphasise the productive as well as ‘truth’ generating qualities of power (Bröckling and Krasmann 2010, pp. 24, 26, 29; van Dyk and Angermüller 2010; Bührmann and Schneider 2008).

  5. 5.

    The empirical data partly stems from a research project (ClimaSec) led by Professor Thomas Diez funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG, Grand number: DI 1688/1-1).

  6. 6.

    If not already available in English, I have translated all German and Spanish quotes myself.
