“…Indeed, securitization theory remains state-centric concerning national security since the state is the main actor but NSAs are increasingly leveraging their position as securitizing actors, securitizing agents, or even security practitioners (Barthwal-Datta, 2012). Studies on security practices within the realm of securitization theory still exclude NSAs and, importantly, activities formally not in line with the state security architecture.…”

“…Studies on security practices within the realm of securitization theory still exclude NSAs and, importantly, activities formally not in line with the state security architecture. Currently, national security concerns encompass broader threats outside military-political contentions (Barthwal-Datta, 2012). For instance, multiple NSAs work to mitigate non-military and human security issues in South Asia at the sub-state level often involving marginalized communities.…”

“…For instance, multiple NSAs work to mitigate non-military and human security issues in South Asia at the sub-state level often involving marginalized communities. In this light, this study assumes securitization theory ought to include NSAs in security dynamics outside conventional state-led practices to properly address contemporary national security concerns (Barthwal-Datta, 2012).…”

“…The reference dimension of the concept of security is whose security needs to be ensured: the nation state's, the society's, or the individual's. The extension of the referent object means that the conventional role of international law in promoting and ensuring peace and security must likewise be expanded (Barthwal-Datta, 2012).…”

Globalization has elevated the role of non-state actors (NSAs) in national security. This article underscores the need to acknowledge the influence of NSAs on international relations and national security. It discusses the role of NSAs only in democratic states with limited government, excluding the totalitarian and authoritarian states, as they blur the private-public distinction or restrict NSAs. The paper follows a qualitative methodology depending on the scholarly credibility of sources, recency, and relevance. The sources include expert interviews as primary data sources and relevant academic literature and case studies as secondary data sources. It employs thematic analysis for examining the data, enabling a nuanced investigation of the evolving influence of NSAs. The theoretical foundation distinguishes two primary NSA categories: private-sector corporate actors and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including global social movements (GSMs). Likewise, it investigates how NSAs extend their influence beyond conventional territorial boundaries such as cyber threats, climate threats, and global policy making. The findings highlight the critical role of non-state actors in shaping contemporary national security paradigms through various case studies, offering insights for policymakers.

“…They invoke both 'urgency' and 'complexity' in order to stress the 'existential' nature of the 'threat'. Barthwal-Datta (2012) uses the cases of 'scientific policy communities' to explore the role of non-state actors in securitizing climate change in India. Their proximity to the state actors and their visibly influential role in drafting the NAPCC-owing to their 'social capital' and 'expert authority'-further enunciates their function as 'securitizing actors'.…”
