Thank you for taking a moment to read through the table of contents and to ponder how this text might benefit your program. The purpose of this foreword is to illustrate the logic of this books organization and to suggest how it might be used by your students across the core curriculum. The homeland security enterprise, as it has come to be known, is a large interconnected network of public and private organizations, academic disciplines, and a wide variety of practitioners. Practical applications and examples of real-life homeland security challenges not only add value to the classroom experience but provide exciting examples of classroom principles in practice and enable students to imagine how they might have thought about or handled a real situation differently had they been involved or in charge.

Our aim in putting this book together was to present case studies that facilitate such enhanced learning and show instructors how to engage their audiences. There were two fundamental approaches to how such a text might be organized. The more traditional style would have been to present case studies completely dedicated to a singular focus or application disciplineall intelligence cases, for example. We chose the second approach instead: the book is organized into seven application or focus areas (i.e., chapters), and the challenges facing each of those areas is highlighted with two robust case studies. This approach yields not only fourteen outstanding case studies representing the challenges that face the homeland security enterprise and its practitioners but also offers to academic programs an efficient and economically viable alternative to the one book, one topic structure.

Youll notice that the fourteen case studies are organized into seven chapters and two parts. Our thinking in organizing the text this way is twofold; first, from an economic perspective, this organization allows academic programs to acquire one text that can be used in seven or more classes. With the chapter titles Law and Policy, Terrorism, Environmental Security, Intelligence, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Transportation Security, and Emergency Management, it is easy to imagine how this book might align itself with several core courses in most homeland security programs. In addition, each case study includes thoughtful and provocative questions that the instructor can use to motivate and structure class discussion. The instructor guide provides not only sketch answers to each of these questions but many helpful tips and resources to help you use the case study approach in your classes.

We hope you find this text to be an innovative, creative, and fun teaching tool that helps your students see the richness and complexity of the many wicked problems they will encounter as homeland security professionals.
