<p>This thesis reviews background related to counterterrorism and law enforcement planning for major special events and it identifies some of the strategic issues that have emerged in special events management since  the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. It focuses on the subjective and objective components of the systems  currently used by DHS and the FBI to categorize and resource special events, and it evaluates whether the current  approach to major event planning is sufficient for contemporary counterterrorism challenges. The thesis considers how changes in the present system may improve interagency counterterrorism preparedness. Finally, it applies  risk management principles to the interagency special event planning process to determine if these principles are useful for developing a rational, politically defensible, and fiscally responsible approach to federal resource  allocation for major special events.
