Fear and securitisation | 133 In this context, securitised identities become sources of ontological security. One way of dealing with uncertainties and anxieties is to convert them into “manageable certainties of objects of fear” through securitisation (Browning and Joenniemi 2016, 8). Securitisation thereby can be identified as a tool which generates ontological security. Moreover, one of the main aspirations of the states is to try to avoid those forms of behaviour that might disrupt their sense of identity.
