In this video, Dr. James Jay Carafano discusses his course on Foundations of Homeland Security (IWP 664). His class provides students with an intellectual foundation for understanding the concepts underpinning homeland security, as well as an overview of the U.S. national homeland security framework, including organization and policies. It examines the underlying intellectual constructs used to frame the comprehension of security issues and to develop the policies and strategies that lead to implementing programs that keep a society safe, free, and prosperous.
Dr. Carafano is Vice President of Foreign and Defense Policy Studies and Director of The Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for International Studies at The Heritage Foundation.
