The Handbook comprises mostly expository chapters that discuss tested methods/algorithms, case studies, as well as policy decision-making techniques surrounding threats and unnatural disasters, to evaluate their effects on people and to propose ways to mitigate these effects. In several chapters, new approaches and suggested policies supplement algorithms that are already in practice. The curated content brings together key experts from the academic and policy worlds to formulate a guide of principal techniques employed to gain better control over selected types of threats. This Handbook explores a wide range of technologies and theories and their impact on countering threats. These include artificial intelligence, machine learning, variational inequality theory, game theory, data envelopment analysis, and data-driven risk analysis. These tools play a vital role in decision-making processes and aid in finding optimal solutions. Additionally, a variety of optimization techniques are employed. These include (mixed) integer linear programming models for identifying critical nodes in complex systems, heuristics, approximation algorithms, and bilevel mixed integer programming for determining the most impactful links in dynamic networks. Furthermore, simulation tools are described that enable the quantification of societal resilience. These techniques collectively provide a mathematical framework capable of quantifying fundamental aspects of threats. They equip policymakers with the necessary tools and knowledge to minimize the impact of unnatural threats. The expected readership is wide and includes officials working in technical and policy roles in various ministries such as the Ministry of Defense, Civil Protection, Ministry of Public Order and Citizen Protection, United Nations, European Institutions for Threat Management, NATO, Intelligence Agencies, Centers of Excellence for Countering Threats, Think Tanks, Centers for Policy Studies, Political Leaders, the European Commission, National Institutes, International Organizations, Strategic Consulting Experts, Policymakers, and Foreign Affairs personnel. Some of these national or international organizations employ algorithms to measure resilience and enhance security. Quantification is challenging but crucial in the scenarios discussed in the book. This Handbook will also prove valuable to various universities (non-practitioners), studying systems engineering, leadership, management, strategy, foreign affairs, politics, and related disciplines. 410 0$aSpringer Optimization and Its Applications,$x1931-6836 ;$v205 606 $aMathematical optimization 606 $aCalculus of variations 606 $aPolitics and war 606 $aMathematical models 606 $aCalculus of Variations and Optimization 606 $aMilitary and Defence Studies 606 $aMathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematics 606 $aOptimitzaciķ matemātica$2thub 606 $aCālcul de variacions$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrōnics$2thub 615 0$aMathematical optimization. 615 0$aCalculus of variations. 615 0$aPolitics and war. 615 0$aMathematical models. 615 14$aCalculus of Variations and Optimization. 615 24$aMilitary and Defence Studies. 615 24$aMathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematics. 615 7$aOptimitzaciķ matemātica 615 7$aCālcul de variacions 676 $a363.348 700 $aBalomenos$b Konstantinos P$01585770 701 $aFytopoulos$b Antonios$01585771 701 $aPardalos$b Panos M$0318341 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910799241803321 996 $aHandbook for Management of Threats$93871397 997 $aUNINA
