Volume 1: The Imperfect Intersection of National Security and
Public Safety explains homeland security as a struggle to meet new
national security threats with traditional public safety
practitioners. It offers a new solution that reaches beyond
training and equipment to change practitioner culture through
education. This first volume represents a major new contribution to
the literature by recognizing that homeland security is not based
on theories of nuclear response or countering terrorism, but on
making bureaucracy work. The next evolution in improving homeland
security is to analyze and evaluate various theories of
bureaucratic change against the national-level catastrophic threats
we are most likely to face. This synthesis provides the bridge
between volume 1 (understanding homeland security) and the next in
the series (understanding the risk and threats to domestic
security). All four volumes could be used in an introductory course
at the graduate or undergraduate level. Volumes 2 and 3 are most
likely to be adopted in a risk management (RM) course which
generally focus on threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences,
while volume 4 will get picked up in courses on emergency
management (EM).
