1. 6. Securitisation as a Norm-Setting Framing in The Campaign to Stop Killer Robots

   University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för kultur och samhälle (KS)

   Author : Aleksandra Daynova; [2019]
   Keywords : securitisation; framing; normative; lethal autonomous weapons systems; transnational advocacy networks;

   Abstract : Since 2009, International Relations scholars have researched the role of big advocacy groups in giving access to the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots in the United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW).

I argue that advocates undertook a normative securitisation process to frame the existential threat lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS) pose to human beings. READ MORE
