Abstract
Among the institutional and behavioral arrangements governing various aspects of international business, those dealing with sea and air transport are among the most interesting to examine from an “international regimes” perspective. Strange (1988) notes that, although it is easy to view “the political economy of transport systems” as a matter of only marginal significance, the truth is that the governance and operation of international transport has become increasingly salient. Both the volume of world trade and the amount of world transport activity have been growing much faster than world production for several decades, and transport services are spanning ever greater distances at ever greater speeds (Strange, 1988, p. 137). As the world becomes smaller and more interdependent, the forces of shrinkage and linkage become more, not less, important.
