Description
This panel explores how security discourses and practices reshape political life by producing states of exception, redefining threats, and legitimising extraordinary measures. Drawing on securitisation theory, critical security studies, and political sociology, participants will examine how actors construct ‘security problems’ and how these constructions enable particular logics of governance. The panel combines empirical, theoretical, and conceptual contributions that interrogate the power relations, normative stakes, and democratic implications of governing through security.
