This textbook - written by experts in the field - delivers a comprehensive, systematic introduction to homeland security. Throughout the course of the book, particular emphasis will be placed on three paradigm shifts in homeland security: the new role of so-called "big data" analytics forrisk assessment in homeland security decision-making; emerging understandings of the "homeland security enterprise," a term used by practitioners to describe whole-of-government efforts to manage natural and man-made threats; and the growing recognition of how international affairs can influence andshape domestic security considerations. | Homeland Security by Austen D.
