STOAbstractExternal:
The September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the United States shattered the image of a secure homeland, not only for the United States but also for many nations throughout the world. If terrorist attacks could be so successful against the most powerful nation in the world, what could other nation's leaders anticipate against their own countries? The people of the world waited for the U.S. reaction, the expected offensive strikes and, more importantly, the plans and methods for protecting and securing the homeland. To date, the United States has spent over 318.5 billion dollars and established a vast new national organization, the Department of Homeland Security.1 This new organization has been given responsibility for protecting the homeland from attack, reacting to national emergencies, and recovering from natural disasters. This paper informs on the development of the DHS to the present and addresses its praises and criticisms. Finally, this research project seeks to determine the effectiveness of this new DHS model and its applicability to the United Arab Emirates.
