Ontological Security and Migration Politics: A Critical Perspective
As we seek to make sense of global political trends and the increased securitization of migration, it can be difficult to understand the motivations and rationale behind government restrictions on movement and punitive measures. In this blog I argue that the theoretical approach of ontological security can provide a starting point for analyzing such trends. The theory is helpful in emphasizing the importance of narratives and self-identity to establish a sense of security and can be applied to recent political developments.
