“…Secondly, security as emancipation begins its exploration of security, not from an envisaged condition of being free from care, but with actual insecurity as a 'life-6 There are other approaches advancing emancipatory visions of security.

In recent years, however, politicization has been accompanied by a tendency to conceive security as connected with a logic of exclusion, totalization and even violence. This has resulted in an imbalanced politicization that weakens critique. Seeking to tackle this situation, the article engages with contributions that have advanced emancipatory versions of security.Starting with, but going beyond, the so-called 'Aberystwyth School' of Security Studies, the argument reconsiders the meaning of security as emancipation by making the case for a systematic engagement with the notions of reality and power. This revised version of security as emancipation strengthens critique by addressing political dimensions that have been underplayed in the critical security literature.
