Sicherheitsakteure

What role do players adopt in processes of securitisation and what effects do their actions have? This volume analyses ‘players in security matters’ in the quintessential fields of security, such as the military and law, and also in non-traditional spheres of security, such as the economy, diplomacy, the media and science. In particular, the book analyses processes of securitisation in which a topic becomes classed as a ‘security problem’. It examines the actions of players involved in security in the military, law, diplomatic circles, expert circles and journalism both conceptually and also on the basis of concrete examples. This volume unites historical contributions ranging from the Middle Ages to contemporary history with contributions from the social and political sciences.
