REVELO, Michael. Securitization as Survival, Securitization as a Speech Act: A Critic to the Copenhagen School. URVIO [online]. 2018, n.22, pp.58-69. ISSN 1390-4299.  https://doi.org/10.17141/urvio.22.2018.3157.

The present paper addresses how the theoretical framework of the securitisation theory, conceived by the Copenhagen School, embraces unique features of the traditional security studies. Its central focus is the assessment of the conceptions of security as survival embedded in the logic of the speech act theory, and the characterisation of the role endows to the securitising agents and the audience. By analysing those, this work criticises the methodology proposed by the Copenhagen School that restrains the deepening of the referent object and the broadening of the security agenda.

Keywords : Securitisation Theory; Copenhagen School; audience; securitising agents; security as speech act; security as survival.
