WHO decides on the exception? Securitization and emergency governance in global health (2014, background): “The securitization of speech acts invokes ‘urgency; state power claiming the legitimate use of extraordinary means; a threat seen as potentially undercutting sovereignty, thereby preventing the political “we” from dealing with any other questions’ (Wæver, 1995: 51).”
Securitising Sustainability? Questioning the 'Water, Energy and Food-Security Nexus' (2015, methodology): “We put forward the notion here that securitisation theory (Wæver, 1995; Bigo, 2002) can contribute to an understanding of this notion, especially when taking into account Foucaultʼs (2007, 2008) work on the inextricable link between security and the economy.”
