Security in Translation proposes an innovative way to capture the evolution, spread and local transformation of threat images in world affairs. Reworking traditional securitization theory, this book develops a coherent new framework for analysis that makes securitization theory applicable to empirical studies.

“This book is the first to examine cross-cultural
securitization, that is, the incremental processes of international spread and
domestic localization of threat discourse. … this book’s dual attempts to
examine the empirical phenomenon of the travel of threat discourse and to build
its theoretical claim are effective. To those engaged in securitization
studies, International Relations, as well as German and American security affairs,
this book will make a valuable read.” (Wenge Chen, Discourse and Society, Vol.

Holger Stritzel is Lecturer at the School of International Relations at the University of St Andrews, UK.
