Abstract

This chapter outlines the securitisation case study aim, method and its key limitations. Climate security case studies were undertaken with the aim of examining the process of climate securitisation within the Australian and US political-military sector between 2003 and 2013. This was a key period that spanned centre-right and centre-left governments in both countries and coincided with securitisation moves in the international arena aimed at influencing a binding global commitment to reduce emissions. Three lines of inquiry were developed for the case studies that addressed how climate change was framed, the urgency of the response, and what types of response measures were put in place to address climate change by the political-military establishments of the US and Australia. Securitisation frameworks were developed by the author based on securitisation theories from the Copenhagen and Paris Schools.

The term ‘political-military’ sector is used throughout to describe both the military sector and the political sector. In reality, only parts of these institutions are examined. The boundaries are defined in the case studies.

This book does not intend to enter into particular scholarly debates surrounding the competing definitions of ‘risk’ or ‘threat-based’ approaches to security. Nor does it specifically examine climate change framed in the ‘grammar’ of risk; where Corry and others (Lucke et al. 2013) distinguish ‘risks’ from ‘threats’ and one which requires ‘a different grammar’ or ‘a different kind of speech act’ (Corry 2011: 236). Rather, the research prioritises Copenhagen ‘threat-based’ approaches to security.
