Reviews
This edited volume provides an intriguing analysis of culture as a variable in understanding homeland security. Focal points include examination of "Domain Aspects" (e.g., culture and resilience), "Collaboration Aspects" (e.g., intelligence fusion centers), and "Societal Security Aspects" (e.g., resilience and a culture of preparedness). The introduction provides a solid overview of the book and the concluding section nicely summarizes key takeaways. A very satisfying work. -- Steven Ames Peterson, Emeritus Professor of Politics and Public Affairs, Penn State Harrisburg
Homeland Security Cultures exposes the reader to a unique, insightful inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary discussion on security culture, and thus depicts the contribution of different fields of knowledge to its constitutive terminology, theory, paradigm and methodology. The conceptual bandwidth of this term in the book goes beyond the discussion done so far, and possesses an added value of a toolbox for its differential diagnosis. -- Rachel Suissa, School of Political Sciences, University of Haifa
