Using Federalism to Improve Environmental Policy
The centralisation of environmental regulation has led to inflexibility on America's federal government as it attempts to respond to various problems. This analysis of current policies proposes a restructuring of the environmental regulatory authority to lead to better environmental enforcement.
The Homeland Security Dilemma
This book explores the paradox of the 'security dilemma' in International Relations, as applied to the post-9/11 context of homeland security. It argues that the more security you have, the more security you will need, as enhancing security raises public expectations.
