ABSTRACT

The events of September 11, 2001, shattered the national security policy equilibrium in the United States. Even with its formidable intelligence community, law enforcement capabilities, military supremacy, and extensive global presence, the United States was caught off guard by weaknesses in deterrence, prevention, and response to terrorism. The George W. Bush administration in response to threats of terrorism launched a portfolio of new initiatives that have helped move Governance 2.0 into the relatively unknown territory of Governance 3.0, the theme of this book.
