The aim of this thesis is to analyse Taiwan and United States’ Disaster Prevention and Response System, base on the conception of Copenhagen Schools Securitization theory, and also discuss how did the form of the security policy affected by the intersubjective security and referent objects. Different from the other research articles, this study argues that the security policy will influence by securitizing actors who experience the existentially threat in the structural function. According to different forms of threat ideal, the system of interacting parts of securitizing actors in the structural function will construct different security institutions. Therefore, this study uses a long-term historical process to analyse how the threat ideal affects the evolution of Disaster Prevention and Response System. This article adopts three methodologies, which are “historical institutionalism”, “literature analysis” and “discourse approach”, to analyse the security utterance of context to interpretive contemporary threat ideal. By the way of “speech act”, it will reveal securitizing actors how to choose the security institution in the threat ideal. Therefore, this study divides Taiwan and United States into three sections time to analyze different evolutions of security policy. According to the analytic framework of Taiwan and Untied States, the securitization element of referent objects, securitizing actors, structural function, and civil society, these four important elements will lead the result into two different consequences. The practical way, Taiwan’s system should form cross-regional emergency operation center to unify the disaster response information, and use a nonpolitical professional leader to control the disaster system. The theoretical way, this study is not only verifies the securitization theory by the case studies, also identifies the securitization and the desecuritization of security policy, and proves the threat can be located on spectrum ranging from nonpoliticized through politicized to securitized.
