securitization - 2025 NAFTA

Packet 4: Bonus 13

A foundational text of the Copenhagen School by Buzan, Wæver, and de Wilde studied this process using speech act theory and “sectoral analysis.” For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this process in which politicians designate issues like immigration and terrorism as existential threats, legitimizing the use of extraordinary measures to combat them.

ANSWER: securitization [or word forms; reject “security”]

[10e] In contrast to “securitizing actors,” “functioning actors,” like those in this industry, do not move issues “above politics.” Chomsky and Herman argued that this industry, often called the “Fourth Estate,” “manufactures consent.”

ANSWER: mass media [or the press; or news media; or mainstream media; or journalism; accept newspapers; prompt on television, TV, radio, or broadcasting]

[10m] This thinker argued that media coverage selects which lives are “grievable” in the book Frames of War. This thinker described authoritarians’ use of the title concept as a “phantasm” in the 2024 book Who’s Afraid of Gender?

ANSWER: Judith Butler [or Judith Pamela Butler]
