Transport Economics, Management and Policy series

玛丽·r·布鲁克斯,威廉·a·Black Chair of Commerce, Dalhousie University, Canada

Heightened awareness of North America’s vulnerability to terrorism in the aftermath of 9/11 has precipitated a crisis for transport suppliers and cargo owners, one that jeopardizes economic prosperity. Mary Brooks examines one industry sector of the North American economic relationship – transportation services – from the perspectives of transport supplier, cargo owner and policymaker.

‘The book is certainly a long awaited coverage of a topic which is becoming increasingly important from an economic and strategic perspective. . . a must for those dealing with freight issues on the continent, notably transborder dimensions. It goes a long way at linking trans-nationalism and freight distribution.’
– Jean-Paul Rodrigue, Journal of Transport Geography
