IN-DEPTH: How to understand Security Risk in International Relations? W/ William Clapton

For todays IN-DEPTH episode Emma is joined with William Clapton, senior lecturer in International Relations at the University of New South Wales. He is the author of Risk and Hierarchy in International Society: Liberal Interventionism in the Post-Cold Era (Palgrave, 2014) and is currently preparing a forthcoming volume on risk and the immigration practices of the Trump administration, Risk, Security, and Immigration Under the Trump Administration: Keeping Undesirables Out (Palgrave, 2021).

They delve into the concept of risk and its centrality to understanding security discourse and practice over the last 20 years.

What is Securitisation Theory and Security Discourse? How has it affected the way we see the world? Why and who has the power to create them? What are the hidden motives for it? What are some examples of it here in Australia and in the United States? Can this be changed?
