证券化的概念产生了相当多的辩论的意义上的安全。然而，在证券化过程中，受众的作用及其与参与者的关系却受到了较少的关注。通过Thierry Balzacq（2005）的工作，并通过分析英国政府决定与美国一起参加2003年入侵伊拉克，在这篇文章中，我表明，虽然公众确实可以发挥宝贵的作用，为行动者提供关于“安全性”问题的“道德”支持，但更重要的是，然而，因此，我的论点是，证券化可以被看作是一个独特的两阶段过程，其特点是一个“识别阶段”和一个“动员阶段”。
The concept of securitization has produced a considerable amount of debate over the meaning of security. However, far less attention has been paid to the role of audiences and their relationship to actors in the securitization process. Informed by the work of Thierry Balzacq (2005), and through analysis of the decision of the UK government to join with the USA in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, in this article I show that although the general public can indeed play a valuable role in providing an actor with `moral' support concerning the `securityness' of an issue, more crucial, however, is the `formal' support provided by parliament concerning the `extraordinaryness' of the means necessary to deal with it. My argument is thus that securitization can in this way be seen as a distinct two-stage process marked by a `stage of identification' and a `stage of mobilization'.
