Immigration, the Borderlands, and the Resilient Homeland adds to the stream of rigorous homeland security research. The book brings conceptual, methodological, and practical advances to the quest for relevance and utility in homeland security scholarship. This book will be of most interest to policymakers and to readers who care whether homeland security is an academic discipline. The chapters are about subjects that have a claim to be at the center of the homeland security project. These topics include immigration, border management, international trade, transnational crime, globalization, resilience, public health, disaster recovery, and cyber security.

“Immigration, the Borderlands, and the Resilient Homeland is a significant contribution to U.S. homeland security studies. The textbook effectively juxtaposes border security and immigration with societal resilience and current events, including the COVID-19 pandemic. This text offers unique value to college courses that seek to integrate theoretical, conceptual, and practical approaches to border security and immigration policy.”
