Description
This panel explores the spatial and political dynamics through which security is produced, contested, and transformed. Bringing together perspectives on state repression and resistance, the papers interrogate how spaces - from borders and regions to courtrooms - become sites of control and contestation. By situating security practices within their material and spatial contexts, the panel foregrounds how power operates, while also tracing the everyday practices that unsettle these logics. The contributions illuminate how security governance is embedded in social and spatial orders and practices, such as arms control regimes. They engage with and extend debates in security studies on how security orders operates and how acts of resistance can reveal the fragility and contingency of those orders.
