Securitization and Risk at the EU Border: The Origins of FRONTEX

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract / Description of output

Documenting the origins, remit and practices of the European external borders agency FRONTEX, this article argues that FRONTEX is not the product of ‘securitizing’ links between terrorism, security, migration and borders made by EU institutions in response to 9/11, but rather of their failure. In so doing, the article critiques securization theory in comparison to the alternative modality of risk.
