Summary

This chapter is about the just termination of securitization, or in other words, just desecuritization. The chapter begins with an analysis of the meaning of desecuritization, I argue that desecuritization like securitization ought to be understood as a sum of actions (i.e. a process) not (as it so often is) as an outcome. Understood is this way desecuritization becomes a time-limited event that can be identified, studied and morally evaluated. The chapter identifies who has a duty to desecuritize by drawing on Miller’s concept of remedial responsibility an dhis connection theory. It goes on to specify three criteria that govern the justice of desecuritization. The first pertains to the last point in time when desecuritization must be terminated. The second specifies what actors must undo as part of desecuritization. The third iholds that desecuritizing actors have a duty to reduce the chances of renewed or reactionary securitization and that this can only be achieved when desecuritizing actors put in place positive and constructive measures aimed at restoring relationships adversely affected by securitization.
