Networks as sets of autonomous organisations working together to
achieve individual and shared goals are becoming increasingly
important across many areas of public administration. The
importance of networks is well known but most analysts would agree
that we do not know enough about the dynamics and effectiveness of
networks in relation to their internal operations. This is a
significant problem as security, intelligence, law enforcement and
many other agencies are increasingly required to organise in and
through networks to provide national security. In this
comprehensive analysis, Chad Whelan presents a highly innovative,
qualitative study of networks in the field of national security.
Developing our understanding of 'organisational networks' in
organisational theory, management and public administration, and
'security networks' in criminology and international relations, he
presents a multi-disciplinary analysis of network forms of
organisation. Whelan puts forward a methodological framework
involving five levels of analysis - structural, cultural, policy,
technological and relational - with which we can better analyse and
understand the dynamics and effectiveness of networks. This
framework is applied to public sector networks operating in the
field of counter-terrorism in Australia in a way that is highly
relevant to researchers and practitioners in many contexts where
government departments and agencies, and the private sector, need
to work together. Networks and National Security: Dynamics,
Effectiveness and Organisation not only advances our knowledge of
networks and national security but also assists with the essential
tasks of evaluating and managing networks. Written in a clear and
accessible style and featuring a wealth of first-hand accounts
concerning the inside operations of networks, this book deals with
the crucial subject of inter-agency coordination in the important
field of national security.
