Abstract: Security has become a part of the objectives assigned to development policies. This article aims at offering a genealogical approach of this evolution in which security in development is dealt with as a normative discourse, with the historical conditions for its emergence, the underlying power relations, and the resulting effects of materiality. The analysis focuses on the introduction of the mechanism of the security sector reform in development, relying on a comparative approach and on a case study in Lebanon. This political genealogy shows the process by which the idea of security has become pervasive, with new ways of interpreting the societies concerned, as well as structural ambivalence influencing local and national appropriation.
