Security Rhetoric is a genre of crisis rhetoric that functions to construct, legitimize, and mobilize specific threats as existential dangers to a referent object—typically the state or collective identity—through discursive strategies that emphasize urgency, exceptionality, and the necessity of extraordinary measures.
