ABSTRACT
Post-9/11, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Madrid bombings of March 11,
2004, the London bombings of 7/7 (2005), threats from the ‘South’, the rise of
radical fundamentalism in the Middle East and other securitization discourses
about the southern Mediterranean (Malmvig, this volume) have drawn the
attention of academics, policy makers, civil society actors and wider societal
communities.
