7 The bureaucratic construct ‘homeland security’ has varied over time, and varies between jurisdic­tions. Paul Rosenzweig: “the impetus for forming the Department of Homeland Security (and concep­tualizing the idea of defending the homeland) lies in a clear national security defeat for the nation in the 9/11 attacks (Paul Rosenzweig, “Is Homeland Security A Subset Of National Security?”, Lawfare blog, 06 April 2017, Available at https://www.lawfareblog.com/homeland-security-subset-national-security (last accessed 07 September 2019). “the national effort to ensure a homeland that is safe, secure, and resilient against terrorism and other hazards where American interests, aspirations, and ways of life can thrive to the national effort to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, reduce the vulnerability of the U.S. to terrorism, and minimize the damage from attacks that do occur” (“Defining Homeland Security: Analysis and Congressional Considerations”, 08 January 2013. p.8. http://www.fas.org).
