Riassunto

This report (from the political think tank the Brookings Institution) critically examines President Bush's "homeland security" plan, arguing that it is not sufficient for protection against further attacks. They suggest expanding police powers and centralizing information sharing among intelligence outfits, as well as numerous other more specific recommendations. The entire report is also available online at the Brooking Institution's web site. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Product Description:

The September 11 attacks forcefully brought home the need to better protect the US homeland against attack from without and from within. How can this task be accomplished most effectively and with the fewest costs to the American economy and way of life? This volume examines the complex underpinnings of a difficult mandate by analysing: the definition of homeland security; vulnerabilities; costs and who should pay; and organizational reform.
