Comparative Homeland Security - Nadav Morag

. .

Résumé :

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:

• Expands understanding of homeland security through comparative analysis of democratic nations' policies and strategies
• Incorporates up-to-date discussions of urgent threats including cyberattacks and disinformation operations
• Explores international public health preparedness and lessons learned from global responses to COVID-19
• Highlights critical infrastructure protection strategies from nations with diverse threat landscapes
• Includes analysis of interagency coordination and civil-military relations in a global context

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....
