Introduction to Homeland Security, Third Edition provides the
latest developments in the policy and operations of domestic
security efforts of the agencies under the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security. This includes the FBI, Secret Service, FEMA, the
Coast Guard, TSA and numerous other federal agencies responsible
for critical intelligence, emergency response, and the safety and
security of U.S. citizens at home and abroad. Changes in DHS and
domestic security are presented from pre-September 11, 2001 days,
to include the formation of DHS under President George W. Bush, all
the way through to the current administration. Through this, the
many transformative events are looked at through the lens of DHS's
original establishment, and the frequent changes to the various
agencies, organization, reporting structure, funding, and policies
that have occurred since. This new edition is completely updated
and includes coverage of topics relevant to homeland security
operations not covered in any other text currently available. This
includes highlighting the geopolitical context and the nature of
global terrorism-and their implications-specifically as they relate
to threats to the United States. Partnerships and collaboration
with global allies are highlighted in the context of their
relevance to international trade, domestic policies, training, and
security. The book ends with a look at emerging threats and
potential new, creative solutions-and initiatives in-process within
the government-to respond to and address such threats. Key
