Introduction

Abstract

AbstractThis chapter provides foundational information for the discussion conducted in further parts of the book. The Introduction includes a review of the existing literature and contemporary perspectives on migration and security, focusing on different modes and practices of securitisation. It outlines the aims and methods of the book, arguing for a more inclusive, interpretative and framing-centred reading of securitisation theory. In doing so, the chapter also clarifies the interpretative characteristics and scope of the research presented in the book. The introduction ends with an outline of the book, discussing its structure and the aims of each chapter.
