%X Since the events of 11 September 2001 (9/11), it has been argued by some scholars that security has become the dominant force in the European Union¡¯s Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ). As a result, there has been an active debate on the ¡®securitization¡¯ of the new threats, such as refugees and migrants (Bigo 1996, 1998a, 1998b, 1998c, 2001, 2002; Guild 1999, 2002, 2003a, 2003b, 2003c, 2004, 2006; Guiraudon 2000, 2003; Huysmans 2000, 2004). In this context, ¡®securitization¡¯ refers to the theoretical suggestion that refugees and migrants are presented as security threats, based on the framework by the so-called ¡®Copenhagen School¡¯ (Buzan 1991; Buzan et al. 1998; Wcver 1993, 1995).
