In response to the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, the United States embarked on a dramatic and sustained effort to reform and revitalize its homeland security policies and structures. This book offers an examination of the evolution of policy and the concurrent restructuring of existing agencies, as well as the creation of new bodies designed to counter the threat of transnational terrorism. Detailing the historical roots of US homeland security policy and its evolution in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, this book provides a unique overview of the emerging and existing agencies and bureaux at the national, state and local levels which are tasked with homeland security. Furthermore, by integrating the existing paradigms of contemporary security policy with the changing nature of threat and response, it provides an invaluable overview of existing and likely future security threats to the US homeland.

Industry Reviews

'A timely book providing valuable insights into one of the most important but often misunderstood areas of our National Defence structure. As we struggle with the Global War on Terrorism and recover from Katrina, we must learn from our mistakes and this work is a start in that direction.' Major General Buford C. Blount (U.S. Army, Retired.), Distinguished Guest Lecturer, University of Southern Mississippi, USA 'Provides a robust and comprehensive look at the emerging debates over the nexus between national security and homeland security. By identifying the gaps between theory and practice, and attempting to bridge those gaps with insightful analysis, the authors provide a much needed common ground for thinking broadly about security for scholars, policy-makers, military officers, and first responders.' Dr Douglas A. Borer, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California USA
