https://padlet.com/ukentros/c7wwx2jw7tssvpna ‘[T]he state is not a cold monster but the correlation of a certain method of governing’ (Foucault, in Huysmans, p. 39); what does this statement mean (what is the trouble with the state)? Does the focus on ‘method of governing’ mean that we should focus on individual security instead of on state security?

We still look at the state but from a more diverse perspective including the individuals into consideration.
The shift is towards individuals but in the scope of the state. State is still central.
The answer is to shift the way of thinking to practices.]]> 2021-04-21 09:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ukentros/c7wwx2jw7tssvpna/wish/1441809856 ukentros https://padlet.com/ukentros/c7wwx2jw7tssvpna/wish/1441809857 Team members: Alain, Beatrice, Charles

1. The idea of "the State" is not, or should not be monolithic. State behavior depends on the method of government.
2. Historically state was looked at from one dimension: sovereign form of ruling, but Focaultian argument adds discipline and governmentality to it too.]]> 2021-04-21 09:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ukentros/c7wwx2jw7tssvpna/wish/1441809859 ukentros https://padlet.com/ukentros/c7wwx2jw7tssvpna/wish/1441809860 Understanding of a state is expanded, not limited or overrode by individual security.]]> 2021-04-21 09:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ukentros/c7wwx2jw7tssvpna/wish/1441809860 ukentros https://padlet.com/ukentros/c7wwx2jw7tssvpna/wish/1441809861 Team members: Lance, Almira, Anna-Lisa
1. The problem with state thinking is that not all problems are domestic - we have many international problems and these are increasing in our globalized world]]> 2021-04-21 09:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ukentros/c7wwx2jw7tssvpna/wish/1441809861 ukentros https://padlet.com/ukentros/c7wwx2jw7tssvpna/wish/1441809863 we don't think we should get rid of state-thinking because we have been living in and functioning in a global society of nation states for so long that its almost natural for us to deal with problems - even global problems like the pandemic - on a state level and we're almost incapable of treating them as individual security issues.]]> 2021-04-21 09:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ukentros/c7wwx2jw7tssvpna/wish/1441809863 mariaamaksimova https://padlet.com/ukentros/c7wwx2jw7tssvpna/wish/1446456444

The state consist of various actors who do the governing in different ways/practices.

The state does not really exist - it is people.

The security impacts and practices by individuals, not state (see the previous points).

But in reality people still act as a state. It is constructed into a form of a group.
