Rita Floyd argues that there are always circumstances in which states and other actors have a moral duty to securitize – to use extraordinary emergency measures to deal with existential threats, whatever their source. This book will appeal to anyone interested in achieving a more peaceful and just world.
Floyd's innovative approach to ethics and security enables scholars to normatively evaluate securitization past and present, equips practitioners to make informed judgements on what they ought to do in relevant situations, and empowers the public to hold relevant actors accountable for how they view security.
