The Homeland Security Dilemma
Author: Frank P. Harvey
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135973857
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
This book explores the paradox of the ‘security dilemma’ in International Relations, as applied to the post-9/11 context of homeland security. The book's central argument can be summed up by the following counterintuitive thesis: the more security you have, the more security you will need. It argues that enhancing security does not make terrorism more likely, but rather it raises public expectations and amplifies public outrage after subsequent failures. The book contests that this dilemma will continue to shape American, Canadian and British domestic and international security priorities for decades. In exploring the key policy implications resulting from this, the book highlights the difficulty in finding a solution to this paradox, as the most rational and logical policy options are part of the problem. This book will be of interest to students of Homeland Security, Security Studies, US politics, and IR in general.

Cabinet Office
Author: Great Britain. National Audit Office
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780102954517
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
The Capability Review programme was launched in 2005 to assess and compare systematically, for the first time, individual departments' organisational capabilities and ability to deliver their objectives. This National Audit Office report finds that the programme has led to evidence of greater capability in departments, but departments have yet to show that the programme has had an impact on outcomes in delivering public services. Action to tackle weaknesses in capability is now a prominent feature of board business and every department has a board member leading its review response. However, there is some uncertainty in departments about whether, or how, the programme will continue, risking a loss of momentum. The first-round reviews found common weaknesses in board leadership, determining the best way for delivering public services and staff skills. There is now evidence of improved capability, particularly in boards' visibility and cohesion. The report also finds: Capability Reviews are encouraging departments to work together while at the same time sharpening their focus on comparative performance; Capability Reviews focus on departments, but services are often implemented by external agencies which are not covered directly by reviews; and there is no benchmarking of departments' capabilities against external organisations, which might offer examples of best practice.

The Europeanisation of Whitehall
Author: Simon Bulmer
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1847795242
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
What has been the impact of the EU on UK central government? This book explores the ‘Europeanisation’ of the work of civil servants and ministers and how they engage with the EU. Drawing on fresh empirical evidence, the volume offers the first comprehensive analysis of the spreading impact of European integration across government. The study is placed in the context of political divisions over the EU but outlines the often neglected way in which the EU has transformed the business of government. It charts the process from the Macmillan government’s 1961 application to join the European Communities through to the end of Blair’s premiership. The book examines the character and timing of responses across government, covering the core government departments and also those more recently affected, such as the Ministry of Defence. The authors argue that central government has organized itself efficiently to deal with the demands of EU membership despite the often controversial party political divisions over Europe. However, in placing their findings in comparative context they conclude that the effectiveness of UK governments in the EU has been less striking.
