Barry Buzan's securitization theory, primarily developed within the framework of the Copenhagen School, is a significant concept in international relations that examines how certain subjects become seen as matters of security. The theory posits that by declaring something as a security issue, a state or actor can claim a need for and justify extraordinary measures to deal with the perceived threat. This process is termed a "securitizing move," and it involves an actor, usually a state or its leaders, presenting an issue as an existential threat that requires urgent action beyond the bounds of normal political procedures.
