To that end, the book proposes a series of methodological innovations that make possible critical analysis of security methods and practices, and develops these in five areas in which methods operate under the dual rubric of practice and interference: mapping, visuality, discourses/materialities, proximity, and genealogy. . These areas are defined here as 'substantive problematizations of security methods': 'substantive' in the sense that these areas are constituted through an engagement with concrete security practices, and 'problematization' in that these engagements and the security practices themselves implicate and perform methods in some way. Approaching methods like this takes us away from methods as 'solutions' to the challenges of empirical research, to methods as entanglements with 'problems'. To sum up, the book's chapters converge around three arguments. First, it argues that research in critical security studies requires frameworks for analysis that incorporate 'critical methods'. This is even more important in the contemporary world, where methods circulate between security practitioners and scholars. Second, it proposes that methods are not simply pre-given tools.
If methods are part of the social construction of security threats, then 'critical methods' require negotiation and experimentation with concepts and empirical sites in order to challenge these performative effects. Third, it shows how critical engagement and methodological innovation can be conducted in an array of sites which have raised problems of insecurity and securitisation: including, airports, urban spaces and governance, counter-terrorism, drug trafficking, and biometrics. This book will be of much interest to students of critical security studies, research methods, politics and IR.
