| Title | Building Bridges Instead of Fences - An Empirical Attempt to Close the Academic Hiatus in Securitization |
| Summary | This research revolves around the apparent dichotomy between the two dominant schools of securitization, the so-called Copenhagen and Paris schools. The use of different logics – the logic of exception and the logic of routine respectively – that underpin their argumentation has put the two versions at odds within the literature, flagging them as mutually exclusive. However, the logics themselves are in no way contradictory to each other. In fact, as this research will argue as well, there is room not only for coexistence, but even simultaneous application. Taking inspiration from Philippe Bourbeau, this research will showcase the dynamics of the two logics through the case study of the securitization of migration in Hungary, as well as make inferences about the cyclicity of securitization processes. The empirical study will emphasize the nature of securitization within Hungary as well as the supporting logics to demonstrate that simultaneous application is not only a possibility but yields a more detailed and consistent analysis. In this way, this research will highlight that the long-standing dichotomy in the literature should be rethought, and analysis encompassing both logics encouraged. |
