Abstract
This chapter outlines the securitisation case study aim, method and its key limitations. Climate security case studies were undertaken with the aim of examining the process of climate securitisation within the Australian and US political-military sector between 2003 and 2013. This was a key period that spanned centre-right and centre-left governments in both countries and coincided with securitisation moves in the international arena aimed at influencing a binding global commitment to reduce emissions. Three lines of inquiry were developed for the case studies that addressed how climate change was framed, the urgency of the response, and what types of response measures were put in place to address climate change by the political-military establishments of the US and Australia. Securitisation frameworks were developed by the author based on securitisation theories from the Copenhagen and Paris Schools.
