Despite the fact that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has
been active since November of 2002, the American homeland is still
not secure from terrorist attack. What passes as DHS strategy is
often just a list of objectives with vague references to the
garnering of national resources, and the marshalling of support
from other nations. Drawing on the expertise of several of the
nation's leading reseachers and policy experts, Terrorism and
Homeland Security: Thinking Strategically About Policy provides
policymakers with a much needed starting point for the creation of
an effective coherent national security strategy. Its origins
pre-dating 9-11, this volume grew out of an extensive project
featuring the participation of various institutions including the
Army War College. The primary goal: develop a strategy that
optimizes security with minimal infringement on rights and
liberties After addressing points salient to a central strategy,
the book then identifies the domestic and external elements that
need to be addressed in building such a strategy. To this end, it
examines the nature of terrorist threats, looks at challenges
specific to various weapons of mass destruction, and then goes
beyond terrorism to discuss safeguarding society and its
infrastructure from natural disasters. In concluding, the editors
present a number of preliminary suggestions. It is hoped that
policymakers and others may take these suggestions into account
when developing a comprehensive national security strategy.
