56. The Future of HLS Education - Joseph Vorbach
1. For an overview of the ongoing transformation in DOD, see Arthur K. Cebrowski, ‘‘Transformation and the Changing Character of War,’’ Officer (July–August 2004).
2. Richard H. Ullman, ‘‘Redefining Security,’’ International Security 8:1 (Summer 1983): 129.
3. Ibid., p. 133.
4. See, e.g.: Netta Crawford, ‘‘Once and Future Security Studies,’’ Security Studies 1 (Winter 1991). Stephen M. Walt, ‘‘The Renaissance of Security Studies,’’ International Studies Quarterly 35 (June 1991). Helga Haftendorn, ‘‘The Security Puzzle,’’ International Studies Quarterly 35 (March 1991). Joseph S. Nye, Jr., and Sean M. Lynn-Jones, ‘‘International Security Studies: A Report of a Conference on the State of the Field,’’ International Security 12:4 (Spring 1988): 5–27. Peter Andreas and Richard Price, ‘‘From Warfighting to Crime Fighting: Transforming the American National Security State,’’ International Studies Review 3:3 (Fall 2001): 31. Andreas and Price note a ‘‘growing gap between traditional security concepts and paradigms and the contemporary practice of security.’’
5. U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO), ‘‘Drug Control: Assets DOD Contributes to Reducing the Illegal Drug Supply Have Declined,’’ GAO/NSIAD-00-9 (21 December 1999). This report confronts the issue faced by a defense department with a continually widening array of obligations related to nontraditional threats.
6. See Lawrence Freedman, ‘‘International Security: Changing Targets,’’ Foreign Policy (Spring 1998): 53. Freedman articulated the concern of traditionalists: ‘‘Once anything that generates anxiety or threatens the quality of life in some respect becomes labeled a ‘security problem’ the field risks losing all focus.’’
7. See Marc A. Levy, ‘‘Is the Environment a National Security Threat?’’ International Security 20:2 (Fall 1995). See also Erik K. Stern, ‘‘The Case for Comprehensive Security,’’ in Daniel H. Deudney and Richard A. Matthew (eds.), Contested Grounds: Security and Conflict in the New Environmental Politics (Albany: State University of New York Press, 1999), pp. 135–142.
8. See, e.g., Peter J. Katzenstein, The Culture of National Security: Norms and Identity in World Politics (New York: Columbia University Press, 1996). See also Keith Krause and Michael C.Williams (eds.), Critical Security Studies: Concepts and Cases (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1997).
9. Richard K. Betts, ‘‘Should Strategic Studies Survive,’’ World Politics 50 (October 1997): 9.
10. Although the term homeland security seems to be associated with the United States since 9/11, the lessons learned from the efforts of other nations must be a component of a robust program of strategic studies in homeland security.
11. Fiscal realities may require the augmentation of a full residential program with a combination of distance-learning approaches, a relaxation of residential requirements. A shorter ‘‘command and staff’’ program attended by midlevel leaders may be an appropriate, albeit incremental, strategy.
12. One example of an effort to institute strategic renewal in a public organization is the U.S. Coast Guard’s Evergreen Project, which focuses on scenario-based planning and the ability to know, shape, create, manage, and position an organization for future success.
13. DHS has developed prototype courses that bring mid- and senior-level leaders together for, among other things, team building and analysis of shared challenges. These programs should be expanded and established more formally.
14. Doing so will be consistent with ‘‘DHS Strategic Plan—Securing Our Homeland,’’ which includes the strategic goal of organizational excellence and sets out to create a leadership development curriculum for all department executive managers and supervisors.
15. For example, the Web sites of the National Academic Consortium for Homeland Security at http://homelandsecurity.osu.edu/NACHS/ and the Northern Command Homeland Security/Defense Education Consortium at www.hsdec.org/ (accessed 13 September 2004).
16. See, e.g., Center for Unconventional Security Affairs at the University of California-Irvine, www.cusa.uci.edu (accessed 14 September 2004); Matthew B. Ridgway Center for International Security Studies at the University of Pittsburgh, www.umc.pitt.edu/media/pcc020211/ridgwayctr.html (accessed 14 September 2004); and Transnational Crime and Corruption Center at American University, www.american.edu/traccc/ (accessed 13 September 2004).
17. 6 USC 188, Public Law 107–296, 25 November 2002, Sec. 308. Conduct of research, development, demonstration, testing, and evaluation. (c) Discretion of secretary.—The Secretary shall have the discretion to establish such centers and to consider additional criteria as necessary to meet the evolving needs of homeland security.’’
18. See David McIntyre, Ph.D., Deputy Director of ANSER Institute for Homeland Security, ‘‘Education for Homeland Security—The Critical Need,’’ ETS News (Winter 2002—2003), at www.homelandsecurity.org/hlscommentary/Education_for_Homeland_Security.htm (accessed 29 August 2004). Few civilians grasp the breadth and sophistication of the U.S. military education program. In contrast to the lack of a nationally accredited or DHS-administered advanced homeland security education program, the U.S. war colleges grant master’s degrees and require graduate-level work. The most promising military officers frequently receive up to three years of full-time resident attendance in civilian master’s or Ph.D. programs. The average midlevel army officer working on plans and budgets in the Pentagon has three to five equivalent years of postgraduate study—a Ph.D. program’s worth of postgraduate schooling in his field. A general devotes a quarter of his career to formal preparation for his position.
19. The nine-month State Department Senior Service seminar, established by President Eisenhower in 1958 and constructed on an interagency teamwork model, should also be considered among the useful examples from the Cold War period.
