Critical engagement with security has become a vibrant area of research, giving birth to distinct subfields such as Feminist Security Studies and Critical Terrorism Studies. However, a growing number of critical scholars have begun to question the achievements of this agenda in recent years. They point out how critical discourses on security take on the guise of a new orthodoxy and become complicit in the reproduction of existing power relations. Some go so far as to declare the « death » of critical security studies. In this article, I review these emergent debates on the bottleneck faced by critical security studies and elaborate on the critiques voiced about the current state of the field.

This article analyses the development, adoption and implementation of Québec's policy for the recognition and support of community action (2001). At a time when New Public Management was on the rise, this policy institutionalized a set of arrangements resistant to the dominant model of governance of relations between states and civil society organizations at the time. Rather than establishing a competitive contract culture, couched in a discourse of common values and objectives, it stabilized relations of autonomy and critical distance between community organizations and the government, along with relatively secure funding of organizations' self-defined missions. We analyse the development and implementation processes of this policy using an approach inspired by Actor-network theory, and interpret the results in terms of certain paradoxical aspects of network governance.
