Abstract

Critical security studies and Critical policy studies have both became increasingly popular research agendas in the recent years. While both have distinct disciplinary history and evolved through separate trajectories, they have recently shared an interest in studying many similar issues. International migration, climate change and its consequences, blurring of public/private divide in contemporary governance, or generally the role of experts and professionals in the formation and practical outcomes of specific policies represent just a small fraction of the overlap of both research areas. Interestingly, however, the debate between the two is virtually non-existent. This panel seeks to open the dialogue between these research agendas. we point out three broader areas that seems to be a promising start in this regard – the analysis of strategies of justification in the deliberation of security policies, the appropriation of security narratives sweeping into the other policy areas and traveling of expertise between security and non-security policies.
