A study of movement and order : the securitization of migration in Canada and FranceBourbeau, Philippe 11 1900 (has links)
This dissertation is about the movement of people and the system of order
underpinning the movement. In undertaking a comparative study of Canada and France
between 1989 and 2005, the study explores a widespread phenomenon that security
studies and migration scholars would have considered an anomaly only two decades ago:
understanding the movement of people as an existential security threat.
How is it that nation-states around the globe are cracking down on migration for
security reasons? How do we know if migration has been securitized - and which criteria
should we employed to guide our analysis? What are the social mechanisms at play in the
interaction between movement and order? Does a variation in levels of securitized
migration exist - and if so, what are the key determinants of the variation? These
questions are at the heart of the present study.
My argument is twofold. First, I contend that a constructivist perspective is useful in
gaining a better understanding of the social mechanisms involved in the securitization of
migration as it highlights discursive power, ideational factors, and cultural/contextual
elements. Second, I argue that securitization theory - the current benchmark in
securitization research - remains silent on the issue of variation in levels of securitized
migration. As such, securitization theory, as currently applied and organized, cannot
explain empirical findings of my study - a weak securitization in Canada versus a strong
securitization in France. Underscoring the necessity to amend securitization theory, I
investigate the impact of cultural factors - and especially the role of domestic audience -
to account for the variation.
