Abstract
The introductory chapter locates the subject of security and the securitisation of society in relation to the three principal interpretive frameworks of the book: governmentality, the civilising process, and the history of patriarchy. It argues that the securitisation of society is not a recent product of ‘late modernity’ or ‘neo-liberalism’, but a long-term function of a series of ‘problematisations’ of established modes of government, focused principally around governing masculinities. The chapter advocates exploring these problematisations through the concept of the ‘politics of protection’. To understand this phenomenon, we need to explore not only demographic and economic processes, but also changes in culture and meaning. These cultural changes, it is argued, were frequently driven by ‘institutional entrepreneurs’ who claimed the power to protect as a way of shaping agencies and roles for themselves and others. The chapter then introduces the rest of the volume.
