Transatlantic Homeland Security? : Protecting Society in the Age of Catastrophic Terrorism

This major new study presents both conceptual and practical guidance at a crucial time when intellectual and practical efforts to protect against the new terrorism should move beyond a purely domestic focus. Creating an effective and integrated national homeland security effort is a significant challenge. Europe and the United States have reacted differently to the emergence of mass casualty terrorism, but must work together to cope with the diverse issue areas, sectors, professions, and relevant actors involved in such a broad-based concept. The authors suggest that Europe and the US have a lot to gain by coordinating more closely, and that the exchange of experience is crucial as we attempt to stay ahead of a learning enemy. Transatlantic Homeland Security Attempts To Provide Conceptual And Practical Guidance To Analysts, Policymakers, And Practitioners At A Crucial Time When Homeland Security Efforts Should Move Beyond A Still Dominantly Domestic Focus.
