Résumé
"We employ the Hood, Rothstein and Baldwin (2001) meso-level risk regulation regime framework to conduct an analysis of Canadian transportation security in these five subsectors: airports, seaports, rail, trucking and bridges. First, we describe and analyse the information-gathering, standard-setting and behaviour-modification practices of these subsectors with respect to security. Secondly, we explore the context that potentially influences the risk regulation regimes, including the role of markets, public opinion/media and organized interests."--Executive summary.
