9781439838181 English 1439838186 As the ten-year anniversary of 9/11 approaches, one critical question persists. Have policies enacted to protect us from terrorist attacks actually made us safer, or have they merely mollified the concerned public with a false sense of security? Homeland Security: What Is It and Where We Are Going combines professional experiences, personal reflections, and academic scholarship to provide a realistic assessment of current policy effectiveness. Amos Guiora "s background makes him uniquely qualified to address this issue. He was the Judge Advocate for the Israel Defense Forces Home Front Command and the legal advisor to a congressionally mandated task force charged with creating America "s homeland security strategy under the auspices of the Committee on Homeland Security. This volume: Provides perspectives from a broad array of individuals involved in homeland security Suggests ways to prioritize limited resources Demonstrates the lack of universal consensus regarding the definitions of homeland security and offers insight into what should be the predominant considerations Suggests solutions to a wide variety of dilemmas, including terror financing, cost-benefit analysis of homeland security, international cooperation/intelligence sharing, business continuity, and immigration/narco terrorism Written in an engaging manner suitable for policy makers, academics, and the general public alike, the book presents examples from the United States and Israel, offering concrete recommendations for the articulation, development, and implementation of effective homeland security strategy., Focusing on how the roles of the agency have changed, this book examines the roots of Homeland Security and its core missions. It examines the agency "s focus and looks at what DHS should focus on in future. Diplomacy and international partnerships are addressed as they relate to resolving hot-button issues like narco-terrorism, intelligence sharing, terrorism funding, and immigration. This book is among the few on the subject to examine Homeland Security funding and perform a cost-benefit analysis to determine the best ways to fund homeland security functions., This updated edition of Collider Physics surveys the major developments in theoretical and experimental particle physics and uses numerous illustrations to show how the Standard Model explains the experimental results. Collider Physics offers an introduction to the fundamental particles and their interactions at the level of a lecture course for graduate students, with emphasis on the aspects most closely related to colliders - past, present, and future. It includes expectations for new physics associated with Higgs bosons and supersymmetry. This resourceful book shows how to make practical calculations and serves a dual purpose as a textbook and a handbook for collider physics phenomenology., With the ten-year anniversary of 9/11 now behind us, one critical question persists.
