Edited by Joseph S. Szyliowicz, University of Denver, US and Luca Zamparini, University of Salento, Italy<b>'This book is a landmark in the field, providing original reflections and a series of case studies from different countries all over the world. This will be of high value to researchers and practitioners, given the current urgent need to investigate air transport security policies and analyze their (networked) economic impacts at the global, national and regional level.'<br /> --Aura Reggiani, University of Bologna, Italy</b><p><b><i>'Its visibility, widespread use, economic value and vulnerability has meant that air transportation has been the subject of numerous attacks over the years. These have taken a diversity of forms and been driven by a variety of motivations. The contributions to this edited book value offer a set of insightful studies not only of the nature of the broad on-going trends in attacks, but also the perspectives of the various actors in both the public and private sector, who have to formulate countermeasures. Because of the uncertainties involved, the tasks of airlines, airports and air traffic control, as well as national and international public bodies, to counter attacks on aviation have been especially challenging. The chapters here offer those new to the subject an excellent overview of the challenges being confronted and the reactions of the aviation sector and public policy makers to them.'</i><br /> --Kenneth J. Button, George Mason University, US</b></p>
