Title ProperSecuritising threats without the state
Other Title Informationa case study of misgovernance as a security threat in Bangladesh
LanguageENG
AuthorBarthwal-Datt, Monika
Publication2009.
Summary / Abstract (Note)This article provides a critique of the securitisation framework around its ability to provide a comprehensive security analysis when applied in a developing socio-political context. It argues that the framework's conditionalities around who can securitise and how, and its assumptions around the nature of the state restrict its ability to consider the role of non-state actors in raising existential threats to societal security. Through a case study of newspapers in Bangladesh raising 'misgovernance' as a security threat to its citizens, it explores how the securitisation framework can become more perceptive to security dynamics in contexts which differ from the one within which the framework has evolved.
