Securitization for Sustainability of People and Place

The purpose of this special issue is to explore and address complex securitization-related challenges, from a broader perspective and across various dimensions and sectors, that transcend disciplinary boundaries, focusing on the role of technology relevant to the securitization of people and place, while also considering the transdisciplinarity and the socio-historical originals of securitization. This special issue was inspired by, and is an outcome of, the IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society 2022 (ISTAS22) co-located workshop on the Social Implications of National Security 2022 (SINS22).
