This uniquely composed textbook provides a cross-disciplinary
introduction to the field of homeland and civil security. It unites
U.S. and international scholars and practitioners in addressing
both foundational topics and risk- informed priorities in fostering
secure societies. The book examines research-related foundations of
homeland and civil security across national boundaries, and how
those apply to addressing real-world challenges of our time.
Representing different disciplines, intellectual styles, and
methodological choices in meeting those challenges, chapters
provide a comprehensive perspective across different approaches and
levels of governance within an all-hazards framework. The book
covers international experiences in border management; intelligence
for homeland security; comparative political and legal frameworks
for use of "drones"; risk management at the tribal level; terrorism
as a strategic hybrid threat; critical infrastructure protection
and resilience; historical lessons for emergency management in the
homeland security era; the leadership challenge in homeland
security; ethics, legal, and social issues in homeland and civil
security research and practice; and examples of the scientific
status of the field from the epistemic as well as the educational
point of view. Including a research guide, a glossary, a
bibliography, and an index, the book will be of distinctive worth
to homeland security students in graduate courses, as well as to an
international student community taking courses in political
science, public administration, "new security studies", and
security research.
