Next-Generation Homeland Security

Network Federalism and the Course to National Preparedness

von John F Morton

Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Positing that the 20th century system of federal-centric governance no longer provides for American security, John Fass Morton makes the case for a nextgeneration homeland security transformation. He provides an inside view of the political dynamics behind the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and the development of the National Preparedness System and focuses on the emerging belief that the nation must advance beyond the interagency model dominated by Washington, D. C. and the federal agencies' security relationships with state and local governments and the private sector. Introducing a 21st century governance paradigm called Network Federalism, Morton charts the course to next-generation homeland security via statutorily empowered and decentralized intergovernmental staffs in the ten federal regions. With a foreword by Gov. Tom Ridge.
