Abstract

The papers of the session deal with real or imagined security problems in the late medieval Empire and in Scotland. On one side it is asked who declared which situation to whose good to be a security problem, on the other hand practices to provide safety are analyzed. By the example of the Jewish community the concept of 'securitization' (in the sense of the 'Copenhagen school' of political science) is discussed.
