Summary

This title combines original research, case studies, and synoptic analysis to cover highly charged topics in America today. Each chapter in this edited volume offers conditional responses to three essential questions about the disciplinary status of homeland security: What are the domain’s central problems? What research methods are best able to address those problems? What has research contributed to addressing homeland security’s core problems?

The volume is divided into two main sections.

Part I: Immigration and Management covers topics such as:

Immigration enforcement
Illegal crossing
Border security
Gaps in securing the borderland

Part II: The Resilient Homeland addresses issues such as

Lessons learned from the pandemic
Disaster recovery and preparedness
Public health
Cybersecurity

This publication bridges knowledge from various topics related to homeland security into one volume.
