Este artículo pretende estudiar la relación entre el miedo y su papel
en el proceso de securitización durante la pandemia de covid-19 desde la

Así, el artículo demuestra la existencia de diferentes momentos del miedo y de
tipos de políticas del miedo. Asimismo, pretende aclarar qué tipo de política del
miedo supuso la securitización de la pandemia de coronavirus. Para ello analiza los procesos de securitización en varios países de diferentes continentes
