Provides practical, globally informed solutions for a stronger U.S. homeland security framework
Comparative Homeland Security: Global Lessons, Third Edition, offers critical insights into how democratic nations around the world approach homeland security (HS) threats. As the scope and complexity of HS challenges continue to expand-ranging from terrorism and public health crises to nation-state cyber operations and disinformation campaigns-this much-need book fills a crucial gap by systematically comparing international responses and offering lessons that can be adapted for the American context. Author Nadav Morag, an acknowledged expert with extensive experience both in the U.S. and internationally, structures the text around key functional areas within homeland security, such as counterterrorism, critical infrastructure protection, emergency management, and civil-military coordination.
The third edition significantly updates previous material, integrating fresh analyses on grey zone threats and post-pandemic public health security strategies. New discussions on emerging threats, including cyber-enabled subversion of democratic institutions and infrastructure, provide timely frameworks for understanding modern hybrid warfare. Each chapter presents case studies from multiple democracies, including the UK, Israel, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, and Japan, emphasizing actionable strategies and institutional frameworks. This global perspective enables readers to critically assess the transferability of foreign approaches to enhance U.S. homeland security through informed, cross-national learning.
Exploring how nations around the world address security challenges and what the U.S. can learn from their experiences, this book:
Organized by thematic policy areas to enable quick reference to relevant case studies and strategic insights, this is essential reading for graduate-level students in homeland security, emergency management, criminal justice, and public policy programs, particularly in courses such as Comparative Homeland Security, International Security Policy, and Emergency Preparedness. Practitioners in government, defense, and civil security roles will find the book's global perspective and practical applications a valuable resource in real-world practice.
Nadav Morag is Professor and Chair of the Department of Security Studies at Sam Houston State University. He also serves on the faculty of the Center for Homeland Defense and Security (CHDS) at the Naval Postgraduate School. Previously, he was a Senior Director at Israel's National Security Council. He has written extensively on terrorism, homeland security, and Middle East policy, including previous editions of Comparative Homeland Security: Global Lessons.

Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Adobe-DRM wird hier ein „harter” Kopierschutz verwendet. Wenn die notwendigen Voraussetzungen nicht vorliegen, können Sie das E-Book leider nicht öffnen. Daher müssen Sie bereits vor dem Download Ihre Lese-Hardware vorbereiten.
Bitte beachten Sie: Wir empfehlen Ihnen unbedingt nach Installation der Lese-Software diese mit Ihrer persönlichen Adobe-ID zu autorisieren!
