When the above article was published online and in print, the following sentence in the footnote was written incorrectly: “The application of securitisation theory into public education is still relatively new. For one of the recent examples, see Tobias Ide, Adrian Deteges and Timo Leimeister, ‘Securitisation through the schoolbook? On facilitating conditions for and audience dispositions towards the securitisation of climate change’, Journal of International Relations and Development (2017), https://doi.org/10.1057/s41268-017-0116-y.”
The corrected sentence should be as follows: “Recently, Christodoulou (2018: 373) introduced the notion of a “securitization of history textbooks.” She documents the Greek Cypriot case in which textbook revisions are considered as a potential challenge to hegemonic discourses. See: Eleni Christodoulou, ‘Deconstructing Resistance Towards History Textbook Revisions: The Securitization of History Textbooks and the Cyprus Conflict’, Global Change, Peace and Security 30 (2018): 373-393. The application of securitization theory into public education is still relatively new. For one of the recent examples, see Tobias Ide, Adrian Deteges and Timo Leimeister, ‘Securitisation through the schoolbook? On facilitating conditions for and audience dispositions towards the securitisation of climate change’, Journal of International Relations and Development (2017), https://doi.org/10.1057/s41268-017-0116-y.”
Likewise, the following sentence in the footnote was written incorrectly: “It is to be noted that memory and education have been securitized in other contexts, too. For example, Christodoulou (2018) in this special issue documents the Greek Cypriot case in which textbook revisions are considered as a potential challenge to state’ hegemonic discourses (or, ‘a betrayal and threat to the nationalist struggle’)(p. 3).

For a discussion of the notion of mnemonic security, including the process of juridification and desecuritization of memory, see Maria Mälksoo, ‘“Memory must be Defended”: Beyond the Politics of Mnemonical Security’, Security Dialogue 46 (2015): 221–37.”
The corrected sentence should be as follows: “ To be noted, memory and education have been securitized in other contexts, too. For example from the context of Cyprus, see Christodoulou (2018) in this special issue. For a discussion of the notion of mnemonic security, including the process of juridification and desecuritization of memory, see Maria Mälksoo, ‘ “Memory must be Defended”: Beyond the Politics of Mnemonical Security’, Security Dialogue 46 (2015): 221–37.”
