ANSER Institute for Homeland Security
http://www.homelandsecurity.org/
The ANSER Institute for Homeland Security is a not-for-profit public- service research organization examining a new set of national security challenges. Initiated and funded by ANSER's Board of Trustees in October 1999 and formally established in April 2001, the Institute believes that preparing for these new challenges will require a determined, integrated effort at every stage of the process: deterrence, prevention, preemption, crisis management, consequence management, attribution and response.
The ANSER Institute for Homeland Security is leading the debate through executive-level education, public awareness programs, workshops for policy makers and online publications: a weekly newsletter (with 15,000 subscribers) and the Journal of Homeland Security, which features articles by senior government leaders and leading homeland security experts.
