1 Managing Homeland Security: PUAD 637 Department of Public and International Affairs Fall Semester 2011 Instructor: Professor Conant Phone: (703) Office: Robinson A221 Office Hours: Tue. 6:00-7:00 Mailbox: Robinson A201 Wed. 11:00 to 12:00, or by Appointment Course Purpose and Organization: The primary purpose of this class is to give graduate students an opportunity to examine the U. S. government s efforts to protect the U. S. Homeland from terrorist attacks. We employ a variety of models (policy, organizational, and management) as key tools for our investigation. In fact, we will begin the class with a review of (or, for those of you who did not encounter these models in PUAD 502, PUAD 620, or PUAD 640, an introduction to) some of those models. Then, we will focus on: 1) the U.S. government s failure to protect its citizens from the attacks on September 11, 2001, 2) identification of the causes of that failure, and 3) proposed remedies for fixing the policy, organizational, and management problems that allowed the terrorists to break through on 9/11. In the third part of the class, we will shift our focus to policy development in the aftermath of 9/11, with special attention given to the Aviation and Transportation Security Act of 2001 (ATSA) and the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (HSA). In particular we will examine the goals and requirements established in those two pieces of the legislation, which included the creation of the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security. We will then shift our focus to the management of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and management of its principal agencies. In doing so, we will examine the management of DHS from both topdown and bottom-up perspectives. Additionally, we will focus on leadership, structure, strategy, resources, and front line operations. In the final segments of the class, will examine the challenges associated with coordinating the activities of the principal agencies within DHS (intradepartmental management), the challenges associated with coordinating DHS activities and the activities of other U.S. departments and agencies (interdepartmental management), and the challenges associated with coordinating DHS activities and the activities of state governments, local governments, public authorities, etc. that are assigned key roles in protecting the homeland (intergovernmental management). Course Pedagogy Since this is a graduate course, most class sessions will be conducted in a discussion mode. Course readings will serve as the basis for discussion; students are expected to complete required readings for each class session. Class sessions will also include minilectures provided by the instructor. The instructor may invite other faculty or DHS professionals to give guest presentations on topics we are studying.
2 Course Work and Grades: The work for this course includes an analytic paper, in which you apply two or three policy, organization, or management models to required readings for class session number four or number five. The format for this paper will be provided in class. The final paper will be a similar exercise, but will cover required readings for class sessions six through fourteen. The final paper is due on Dec. 13, Analytic Paper Final Paper Class Disc.
