In this article, Anne Weiler examines how the Dreyfus Affair became a process of securitization in which Alfred Dreyfus was framed as an existential threat to the French nation. By analyzing the role of the French Army, antisemitic nationalism, and propaganda, she shows how fear, prejudice, and political instability enabled extreme measures to be justified in the name of security.
