In this clear and observant book, Kenneth Button provides an
overview of the economics and political economy of transport
security, considering its policy from an economic perspective. His
analysis applies micro-economic theory to transport issues,
supporting and enhancing the larger framework of our knowledge
about personal, industrial, and national security.Button's focus on
the economic aspects of transportation security strives to move
beyond established technical and legal approaches, working within
both the narrower microeconomics of individual and corporate
efficiency and the larger trends in economic policy-making. By
fitting current security trends into economic analysis, he
discusses not only contemporary developments, but also their
economic implications and approaches for assessing alternative
strategies. This examination of applied economics is a must-read
for those looking to gain a broader view of transport security
issues. It is a critical resource for those in the security
industries as well as those involved in education about transport,
security matters, and applied microeconomics. Contents: Preface 1.
