Migration Control in Europe After 9/11: Explaining the Absence of Securitization

Christina Boswell, August 2007

Summary

Rejecting the predominant view that 9/11 encouraged a ‘securitization’ of migration control, this article argues that political discourse and practice in Europe have remained surprisingly unaffected by the terrorism threat. This finding challenges the critical securities literature, implying the need for a more differentiated theory of the political system and organizational interests.
