Is anyone of you aware of a systematic (or at least very broad/comprehensive) review of the literature on securitisation theory? I was just discussing this with a colleague, but besides some "state of the art" pieces by Waever, Balzacq, Stritzel etc. and the "Agents without agency" paper by Comte (which is rather systematic, but largely focused on the aspect of agency), we could find little that systematically maps out which elements of securitisation have been used how and where for which purposes.
Though not an explicit review, this article does take a very systematic approach to Securitisation.

not entirely sure how deep you want to go and what you mean by 'review'. The problem with 'securitization theory' is that it split some time ago into distinct branches. There is a book on 'Securitization Theory' edited by Balzacq which has elements of a systematic and comprehensive review and a special issue of "International Relations" from 2015 edited by Balzacq and Guzzini. There was also a special issue of Security Dialogue I think... I did a review of securitization only as applied to energy security.
The special issue in Security Dialogue 2011 is very useful. I wrote a piece on the 'dual history of securitization' which does give a background (e.g. by starting from de-securitization) and historicises/contextualises its origins and findings. Available here on Research Gate both in Portuguese and as a Working Paper in English.
Here is something that might be interesting, if your read French: Article Théories de la sécuritisation, 1989-2018
Thanks for all your comments. Fabrício (and Karina), would be great if could share the final papers (or even drafts in case you'd like to get some feedback).
Also around 2010/11: Barry Buzan, Lene Hansen The evolution of international security studies, New York: Cambridge University Press (2009) was followed by a nice shorter piece by the same two authors in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of International Studies.
