Securitization of the threat of water scarcity in the Czech Republic
Petr MARTINOVSKÝ
In recent years, a threat of water scarcity has been a frequently discussed topic in security and strategic studies. However, we lack evaluative researches on this threat in the Central European area, especially in the Czech Republic. The aim of this paper is to help with filling the vacancy and to explore the reflection of the threat of water scarcity among Czech security policy actors. Appropriate methodological ground is provided by the constructivist concept of securitization by the Copenhagen School of Security Studies. Primary data have been obtained from questionnaires, secondary and tertiary data subsequently from relevant actors’ documents analysis. In the final part of the study, the author partially steps aside from the constructivist view and on the basis of observed trends summarizes the main objective features of the threat itself.
