Vladimir BartenevSecuritization of International Development Aid: Political Discourse Analysis
2011.
Vol. 6.
No. 3.
P. 37–50
[issue contents]
The securitization of development assistance has lately become one of the most debatable subjects in
the Western Political Science. It is understood as encapsulation of global and national security interests in the framing, justification, structuring and implementation of development and aid policies based on the perception of underdevelopment as a threat. Experts argue that this phenomenon can be observed at three different levels: in the discourse of political leaders and the language of documentation of the international organizations (macro-level); in the changes in institutional structure, volumes and direction of the development aid flows (meso-level); and in the planning and implementation of specific programmes and projects (micro-level). This article examines the manifestations of the securitization of development at macro-level, identifies the key elements of the securitizing move as a discursive practice, and assesses the prospects for the preservation of this trend.
