证券化理论已经发展成为一个卓有成效的研究方案，对安全威胁的建设。该理论经历了日益复杂的过程，实证研究在移民、健康、气候变化或网络安全等各种问题上产生了令人振奋的见解。鉴于最近地球仪政治选举中安全化叙事的兴起，理解社会问题如何被视为威胁似乎比以往任何时候都更及时。我们建议，这一研究议程将受益于扩大其方法的多样性。特别是，实验的使用可以补充现有的方法在证券化理论，减轻一些程序的方法论的弱点，并帮助解释时，证券化举措可能会成功或失败。
Securitization theory has developed into a fruitful research program on the construction of security threats. The theory has experienced growing sophistication, and empirical studies have produced stimulating insights on issues as varied as the politics of immigration, health, climate change, or cybersecurity. Understanding how social issues become perceived as threats seems timelier than ever given the rise in securitizing narratives in recent political elections across the globe. We propose that this research agenda would benefit from broadening its methodological diversity. In particular, the use of experiments could complement existing methods in securitization theory, mitigate some of the program's methodological weaknesses, and help explain when securitizing moves are likely to succeed or fail.
