"Securitization", or "de-securitization", expresses which aspects of life are going to be – or not to be – transformed into and perceived as security-related matters in the future. For example corruption could be perceived as a prior economic issue, as a prior criminal justice issue, or as a prior security issue. A cross-cutting aspect is the cultural selection of risks and [[security culture]]. |

Securitization
"Securitization" is a process-oriented conception of security in the context of international security policy. The securitization concept is embedded in the social constructivism with Ole Waever and Barry Buzan as leading theorists (Copenhagen School): Security is not an objective state, but results from social processes; security is socially (and/or politically) constructed.
"Securitization", or "de-securitization", expresses which aspects of life are going to be – or not to be – transformed into and perceived as security-related matters in the future. For example corruption could be perceived as a prior economic issue, as a prior criminal justice issue, or as a prior security issue. A cross-cutting aspect is the cultural selection of risks and security culture.
"Securitized" agenda examples, that are more or less tangent to urban planning, are:
- Environmental security;
- Terrorism;
- Data protection and data security;
- Cyber security;
- Societal security;
- Climate change;
- Migration;
- etc.
