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.
