Summary/Abstract: Contemporary security narratives reflect the public understanding of security matters and expectations and the best way to translate this information to a wider audience. Arun Kundnani writes: “Narratives are the stories we tell ourselves and others about the world in which we live.” Shaul R. Shenkiv adds: “Examinations of political discourse show that it relies extensively on narrative patterns. This is partly the result of the human tendency to rely on narrative as a way of understanding the world and endowing it with meaning.”
