A similar point is made by Didier Bigo. He talks of so-called 'security professionals'; national and local police organisations, military police, border guards, custom guards, armies, and so forth, who manage risk and fear. Such security professionals 'transfer the legitimacy they gain from struggles against terrorists, criminals, spies, and counterfeiters' towards other targets in order to support their own interest; competition for budgets and for competencies. Bigo, 'Security and Immigration: Toward a Critique of the Governmentality of Unease', Alternatives, 27, Special Edition (2002), pp. 63-4.

Here, my emphasis on a basic trust in others buys largely into the same 'socially dependent' formulation of ontological security as that employed by Mitzen. Others, however, such as Catarina Kinnvall, seek also to emphasise a more psychoanalytical approach. Kinnvall argues that 'too strong an emphasis on social context tends to ignore the emotional dimension of subjectivity'. Kinnvall, p. 752. Laing's work, moreover, stresses more the securing of self-identity through time, where the pursuit of ontological security does not presuppose any identification with an 'Other'. I am grateful to one of the anonymous reviewers for drawing my attention to these points.

Huysmans also makes the distinction between ontological security and what he calls 'daily security, However, differently to Steele, for Huysmans ontological security relates more to an epistemological condition than a particular fixing of identity. Approaching ontological security not only through Giddens but also through the work of Zygmunt Bauman, Huysmans begins by arguing that security relations are constituted by a 'double fear, the first being the fear of physical death; the second being the fear of uncertainty, which is an epistemological fear. Physical fear (daily security) involves the identification and countering of unambiguous (material) threats; the maintenance of a particular order. In this way, daily security seeks to distinguish friends from enemies. Epistemological fear (ontological security) concerns rather 'how to order social relations while simultaneously guaranteeing the very activity of ordering itself. Huysmans, Security! What Do You Mean, p. 242

Referring to Poststructural and Social Constructivist approaches to security, McSweeney accepts that states can acquire identities; endogenously from domestic culture and exogenously from interactions in the international system. Although analogous to individuals in this way, he nevertheless firmly rejects the proposition that states are real persons. See especially Chapter Nine, Seeing a Different World

Ontological security allows agency, and having such agency also enables the pursuit. As McSweeney points out, however, such a process is not only an 'identity first' one: 'What we want follows from who we are, It can also be an 'interests first' one: interests can play the decisive role in triggering the process of identity transformation. We are who we want to be, Thus, he goes on: 'We misunderstand, ontological security, if we restrict analysis to the cognitive, cultural dimension, however. Material resources play a central role in both, W]ith the construction and management of collective identity, m]aterial interests interact with cognitive options to influence the choice of identity, McSweeney, pp. 127 and 209

Ibid, p. 494. Here, that the reproduction of order is a distinctly political move shares much in common with both Huysmans and Kinnvall's concentration on security as a 'thick signifier'. In this sense, security relations are a particular way of structuring life. And utilising security as a thick signifier, Kinnvall notes, thus 'means unmasking those structural relations through which security discourses are framed, as such relations reflect the 'inequality of power between those involved and those affected by the discourse'. Kinnvall, p. 745; Huysmans, 'Security! What Do You Mean?'.

In its original definition, negative peace was defined as the absence of war and actual physical violence, while positive peace was described as the 'integration of human society'. Since then, however, as Lawler points out, positive peace has been equated with a plurality of values including 'cooperation, freedom from fear or want, economic development, absence of exploitation, equality, justice, freedom of action, pluralism and dynamism'. In short, he goes on, 'it was synonymous with a specific understanding of the global good life'. Lawler, p. 54.
