What does safety and security mean in the context of the French state? How does it relate to issues of immigration and national identity? Joining me back on the show is Andrew Aguilar (from episode 24), a PhD candidate in political science at Sciences Po and a fellow at the French Migrations Convergence Institute. On this episode, we talk about another aspect of his doctoral research and discuss concrete examples of its complexity in practice: state security in France and the UK.
