Homeland security and context In the Geographical Dimensions of
Terrorism (GDOT) (Cutter et al. 2003), the first book after 9/11 to
address homeland security and geography, we developed several
thematic research agendas and explored intersections between
geographic research and the importance of context, both
geographical and political, in relationship to the concepts of
terrorism and security. It is good to see that a great deal of new
thought and research continues to flow from that initial research
agenda, as illustrated by many of the papers of this new book,
entitled Geospatial Technologies and Homeland Security: Research
Frontiers and Future Challenges. Context is relevant not only to
understanding homeland security issues broadly, but also to the
conduct of research on geospatial technologies. It is impossible to
understand the implications of a homeland security strategy, let
alone hope to make predictions, conduct meaningful modeling and
research, or assess the value and dangers of geospatial
technologies, without consideration of overarching political,
social, economic, and geographic contexts within which these
questions are posed.
