Securitisation

Securitization

"Securitization", or "de-securitization", is a process-oriented conception of security expressing 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. "Securitized" agenda examples are:

• Environmental security;
• Data protection and data security;
• Cyber security;
• Societal security;
• etc.
