Lauri Snellman: Emancipation vs Securitization – the Case of Pacifism

Lauri Snellman

Securitization presents a problem for emancipatory political world-views. This PowerPoint presentation examines how securitization rhetoric leads to a security-oriented ethic that is at odds with political orders that are based on human dignity. The presentation presents pacifism as the polar opposite to securitization. I then examine, how peace movements and nonviolent campaigns succeed by desecuritization and conversely a securitarian mind-set excludes or misinterprets pacifism by default. I use the Israel-Palestine conflict as an example of the opposition of peace-building and securitization.
