CK Hutchison’s Panama port deal exemplifies the major powers continuation to assert their dominance. Smaller countries and private enterprises in the vicinity bear the brunt of the consequences.

With memories of the Huawei saga still fresh, Europe faces a critical question: will China’s EV dominance spark securitisation across the EU?

The so-called “Albanian Model” is widely criticised for multiple human rights violations. It’s part of a broader system of #externalisation and #securitisation of EU borders; a system rooted in racist and colonial ideologies, shaping the restrictive migration policies of Fortress Europe.

🏦 Why is #securitisation a strategic financing superpower❓

Keeping #banks financing the real economy without excessive reliance on public or external capital, securitisation mobilises private capital in service of public goals 🎯

"Unchecked #securitisation has real effects on our society. The securitisation of the EU #budget and the rise of right-wing parties in the Parliament are shifting EU priorities & creating uncertainty for civil society's funding," says @gisellebosse.bsky.social.

These framings feed #safeguarding vs. #securitisation responses that fail to adequately respond to the nuanced realities of children's #radicalisation pathways: e.g. children can be informed AND ignorant, or self-initiated AND susceptible to influence /4

EU resurrects banking practice that caused the 2008 financial crisis Securitization allows banks to repackage and resell debt, famously explained by actress Margot Robbie in a bubble bath in the film “The Big Short.”

❌ As we told @politico, banks aren’t obliged to use freed-up capital for productive investment.
And everything suggests they won’t.

🤔 So who does this securitisation revival really serve?

Securitisation deals jump 24 pc to Rs 2.35 lakh crore in FY25 as banks raise more funds Mumbai, April 7 (SocialNews.XYZ) Securitisation volume in India rose 24 per cent on-year to around Rs 2.35 lakh crore in financial year 2024-2025, the highest on record, driven by large deals originated by private sector banks and steady fund raising by non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), according to a Crisil report released on Monday. Securitization enables banks and NBFCs to convert illiquid assets, like loans or receivables, into tradable securities, financial institutions to raise capital and transfer risk to investors.

In this context, we also explore the link between #securitisation & climate justice. We find that securitising moves have been essential in the EU’s climate policy, that their intensity differs & that there are different forms implying different notions of climate justice

The starting point is the ongoing debate on #ClimateChange as a security issue (all the more relevant in the context of #ClimateEmergency or #ClimateApocalypse debates). I explore whether this #securitisation has led to political consequences and discuss the normative implications
