Essay question: Discuss the process and implications of securitising immigration in the case study of Italy.
The essay should be based on papers within security studies and it should include the considerations of the
Copenhagen school.
Good essays should show consistency of standpoint or argument together with acknowledgement of rival
arguments, clear structure, simple and direct writing, good punctuation and evidence of wide reading. I am
adding a reading list, to give a general idea on the topic, however this is just a guideline, does not have to be
included. Futhermore I am adding 4 readings on the case study, these should be included in the essay.
The essay should also concentrate on roughly one time period (in this case this is the period roughly between
2015 – 2017 defined as ‘refugee crisis’) and should include analysis of speech acts and a few direct quotes
from speeches.
