This basic casebook contains seven chapters, focused on subjects such as the use of drones, the 1993 World Trade Center (WTC) bombing, the role of cyber-security in infrastructure protection, and intelligence collection preceding the 2008 attack on Mumbai, India, and throughout the war in Afghanistan. The volume is not just focused on military issues, however, and also has cases that consider environmental security, emergency management in the case of natural disasters, and critical transportation security in the 2001 Baltimore Howard Street Tunnel fire. Each chapter starts with a brief introduction and then presents two cases, some of which are fictional projections of future events. Political issues are also considered, such as the Republican refusal to sign the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). An instructor's guide and discussion question at the end of each chapter make this volume appropriate for use as an undergraduate textbook. A two page expansion of used acronyms appears at the start of the book. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com) Read Less
