| Summary/Abstract |
This article investigates the security-development nexus through a study of local experiences in a neighbourhood in Sri Lanka's capital Colombo. As the Sri Lankan state struggles to secure 'the nation' from 'terrorism', and to develop it towards a twin vision of modernization and return to a glorious past, large parts of the population in Colombo 15 remain at the margins of this 'nation'. They are ethnic and religious minorities, forgotten tsunami victims, terrorist suspects and unauthorized dwellers - those often depicted as threats to, rather than subjects of, 'security' and 'development'. This study reveals that the security-development nexus constitutes a complex web of linkages between factors related to housing, income, tsunami reconstruction, party politics, crime, political violence and counter-violence, social relations, and religious beliefs and rituals. People's perceptions of and opportunities to pursue security/development are intimately linked to their position as dominant or marginalized within 'the nation', 'the community' and 'the family'. 'Security' and 'development' issues are mutually reinforcing at times, but just as often undermine each other, forcing people to make tough choices between different types of security/development.

| Summary/Abstract |
It is now beyond doubt that attention to the 'security-development nexus' has become commonplace in national and global policymaking. However, how 'the nexus' is differently imbued with meaning and ultimately employed remains underexplored. In this article, we suggest a possible framework for mapping the multiple understandings that underlie specific articulations of 'the nexus' in order to reveal the ways in which meaning may shift in different (yet seemingly similar) discourses. To this end, we draw upon familiar stories about 'development' and 'security', and we offer a brief reading of ways in which 'the nexus' is articulated in policy texts. Ultimately, this framework may hint at what such articulations may imply for the policy agenda.

| Summary/Abstract |
Relying on the literature on the political economy of new wars, this article aims to challenge the policy articulation of Somali piracy through the security-development nexus in recent resolutions of the UN Security Council. The article's central argument is that the UN Security Council's assumption that the political economy of piracy can be transformed by external top-down intervention based on a formulaic security-development nexus seems to be bound to fail for two main reasons: First, the 'nexus' is based on a virtual liberal state-building project in Somalia that is disconnected from the local context involving piracy; second, the 'nexus' works as a securitized dispositif, hence prioritizing security goals over social changes. Therefore, instead of the liberal peace recipe proposed by the Security Council as remedy for everything, including piracy, the article suggests a critical transformative approach, centred in actually existing forms of local politics and governance in areas affected by piracy, where the articulation between security and development can be made in a more balanced and nuanced way, taking into account the concrete needs of protection and development of people dependent on piracy.
