Rita Floyd argues that there are always circumstances in which states and other actors have a moral duty to securitize – to use extraordinary emergency measures to deal with existential threats, whatever their source. This book will appeal to anyone interested in achieving a more peaceful and just world.
States have social contractual duties to provide security for their people, but just what measures are morally required? Should states be obligated to address real/objective existential threats via securitization (i.e., threat-specific, often liberty defying, rigorously enforced and sometimes forcible emergency measures)? Do non-state actors or international organizations also have a moral duty to securitize and, if so, why, when, and to whom? Would such duties pertain only to populations of one's own state or also to people in other states? 'The Duty to Secure' offers answers to these and other questions, setting out a rigorous theory of morally mandatory securitization that examines the duties of actors at all levels of analysis. Morally mandatory securitization has practical implications, including for NATO's Article 5 and the responsibility to protect norm, both of which currently take account of only a narrow range of threats.

Rita Floyd is Associate Professor in Conflict and Security in the Department of Political Science and International Studies at the University of Birmingham. This is her third monograph following on from Security and the Environment: Securitisation Theory and US Environmental Security Policy (Cambridge, 2010) and The Morality of Security: A Theory of Just Securitization (Cambridge, 2019).
