“…There seems to be a growing interest in statebuilding from a critical security perspective. Distler and Ketzmerick (2017), for example, have recently explored the role of elections in the international security politics of postcolonial and postwar states. In the same volume, Bonacker and Ketzmerick (2017) showed how the independence movement in Cameroon in particular in the 1950s and 1960s gained agency through securitizing moves directed toward an international audience.…”

In this article, I examine the role security plays in creating a socioterritorial order in statebuilding policies. I argue that security contributes to the creation of center–periphery asymmetries, for example, through the portrayal of the center as threatened by a dangerous periphery or the periphery as disloyal and untrustworthy. In particular, I explore how security practices work in two distinct center–periphery figurations: in internal colonization, where a specific population, located within a dominant power, is subordinated; and in international intervention, where a society is internationally ruled. The article incorporates the literature on internal colonialism and international intervention from a critical security studies perspective to show how security functions as a mode of governing by creating specific center–periphery figurations in statebuilding. The overall aim is to provide a new theoretical perspective by intertwining critical security and postcolonial studies and to stimulate empirical research on the function of security as a principle of socioterritorial ordering.
