This study is conducted to achieve four objectives including to examine migrants as security issues in Sabah using securitization theory; to analyze social constructivism approach as an alternative in explaining migrants as a security issue; to understand the interactions between actors-audience in securitization of immigrants issues in Sabah, and to examine factors affecting the degree of violence and government policies in addressing the issue of immigrants in Sabah. This study employs qualitative approach by combining several research methods including text/discourse analysis, documents analysis (such as government reports, archives, major newspapers) interviews with key respondents, and fieldwork observations. The main findings of this study suggests that, immigrant as a threat to security is not a pre-given but a product of social process that is developed through language or known as “speech act”. Apparently, even though securitization actors successfully convinced the audience and subsequently made immigrants a security issue, the state implements different policies in addressing the same issue, namely immigrants. Therefore, this study reveals that the securitization of immigrants in Sabah requires the shift from an exclusive focus of discursive practice, to a more realistic understanding of the domestic and international factors affecting the state’s policies. As such, language per se is inadequate in understanding and explaining the reality of the immigrants and relevant governmental policies in Sabah. 2018 Thesis https://etd.uum.edu.my/9249/ https://etd.uum.edu.my/9249/1/s95652_01.pdf text eng public https://etd.uum.edu.my/9249/2/s95652_02.pdf text eng public https://etd.uum.edu.my/9249/3/s95652_references.docx text eng public other doctoral Universiti Utara Malaysia
