Abstract
Security perspectives inspired by risk theories often point to the self‐defeating nature of security policies that generate more insecurity, less freedom or ‘boomerang effects’ as complex systems react unpredictably to efforts to control risky elements. This makes such theories strong antidotes to exaggerated securitizations, but do such theories then dismiss the idea of achievable security altogether? This paper explores whether such theories have a latent positive conception of security and whether the idea of resilience is it.
