This book provides an in-depth analysis of the securitisation of climate change in the US, Germany and Mexico and offers a rethinking of securitisation theory. Resting on a Foucauldian governmentality approach, it discusses how different climate security discourses have transformed the political handling of climate change and affected policies, practices and institutions. Going beyond the literature’s predominant focus on the global level, it gives a fine-grained examination of the political and institutional changes in different national contexts. Drawing on the governmentalisation of security, the book develops a new understanding of securitisation that focuses on the role of power. In d...
This book provides the first systematic comparative analysis of climate security discourses. It analyses the securitisation of climate change in four different countries: USA, Germany, Turkey, and Mexico. The empirical analysis traces how specific climate-security discourses have become dominant, which actors have driven this process, what political consequences this has had and what role the broader context has played in enabling these specific securitisations. In doing so, the book outlines a new and systematic theoretical framework that distinguishes between different referent objects of securitisation (territorial, individual and planetary) and between a security and risk dimension. It t...
While comparative constitutional law is a well-established field, less attention has been paid so far to the comparative dimension of constitutional history. The present volume aims to address this shortcoming by bringing focus to comparative constitutional history.

El proceso electoral federal de 2012 fue particularmente importante por varias razones. En primer lugar, porque estuvieron en juego todos los cargos de elección federal –el presidente de la república, los 500 diputados de la Cámara baja y los 128 senadores de la Cámara alta del Congreso de la Unión– y concurrieron con procesos electorales locales en algunas entidades del país; en segundo, porque se pusieron a prueba las reglas electorales aprobadas en la reforma de 2007-2008; en tercero, porque estuvo sujeto a la expectativa creada por la conflictiva elección presidencial de 2006 que posibilitó un prolongado conflicto postelectoral en el que, nuevamente, se escucharon acusaciones de fraude electoral que no se presentaban desde la elección de 1994; y, finalmente, por la redistribución del poder que se centró en la conformación de coaliciones electorales, en donde predominó la coalición
Understanding Global Migration offers scholars a groundbreaking account of emerging migration states around the globe, especially in the Global South. Leading scholars of migration have collaborated to provide a birds-eye view of migration interdependence. Understanding Global Migration proposes a new typology of migration states, identifying multiple ideal types beyond the classical liberal type. Much of the world's migration has been to countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and South America. The authors assembled here account for diverse histories of colonialism, development, and identity in shaping migration policy. This book provides a truly global look at the dilemmas of migration governance: Will migration be destabilizing, or will it lead to greater openness and human development? The answer depends on the capacity of states to manage migration, especially their willingness to respect the rights of the ever-growing portion of the world's population that is on the move.
