Israel and the BDS Movement in the Context of Securitization Theory
Mangunda, Laura ; Záhora, Jakub (advisor) ; Daniel, Jan (referee)
1 Abstract This thesis examines the case study of Israel's treatment of the BDS movement through the lens of securitization theory, specifically the political sector of security. Following the new developments of the theory that focus on the contextual approach to security and on the non-exceptional security measures as determinants of successful securitization, this thesis has two objectives. First, in consideration of the contextual approach to security, it seeks to analyse how the securitizing actors securitized BDS in the chosen speeches of Benjamin Netanyahu, Gilad Erdan and Danny Danon. Second, in consideration of non-exceptional security measures, it seeks to offer an overview of adopted anti-BDS measures in order to evaluate whether the securitization of the boycott movement in Israel has been successful.

In order to achieve this goal, securitization theory is introduced; its limitations described and subsequently reconceptualized to better suit the research question. The theory is then applied on a case study of the securitizing discourse, preceding the intervention from 15th of February until 21st of March 2011. These events are described from the perspective of the United Kingdom, which together with the general overview corresponds with the hypothesis that the Cameron administration was a securitizing actor towards both national and international audience. Consequently, the analysis shows that the securitizing discourses differed based on the relevant audience. Although human security and democratic aspirations were the main referent objects in both discourses, protection of national security as a referent object was specific only to the national audience. In addition, Gaddafi regime was the...
