Description:
In this theoretically sophisticated, yet entirely accessible volume, Huysmans analyses and investigates the processes of securitization, and the details of migration, asylum and refuge in the post 9/11 European Union.
Review Quotes:
'Emphasising the sociological nature of security analysis, this book advances a political-sociology theoretical understanding in security studies while at the same time making a substantial empirical contribution.'
- Gulf Research Center Book Review
'Jef Huysmans has opened up the whole area of societal security to a deeper and more detailed scrutiny than it has been given before.'
- Dr Klejda Mulaj, Senior Researcher
