This research is concerned with examining the flows of goods in globalisation. Whilst most academic work focuses on how and where goods are produced, consumed and disposed of, relatively little addresses the circulation of goods in the global economy. Turning attention to the circulation of things highlights the critical role of maritime space (the sea) and of ports, trucks and truckers in holding the global economy together. It also flags the signficance of 'Plan D' or 'System D' in the global economy; that is, the vast range of informal or unregulated economic activity which underpins globalisation. This research examines these intersections, starting from four of the major EU ports, including in Northern and Southern Europe. It entails research with truckers, haulier agents, shipping agents and customs and excise inspectors. The focus for the research is the potential gap between the physical contents of the container box, and their value, and the description of those contents on the box manifest. As such, the research addresses the collision between a global economy predicated upon the uninterrupted flow of goods and security concerns which are beginning to identify ports as the weakest link in global security.

这项研究涉及审视全球化中的商品流动。虽然大多数学术工作都集中在商品生产、消费和处置的方式和地点，但相对较少涉及全球经济中的商品流通。将注意力转向事物的流通凸显了海洋空间（海洋）以及港口、卡车和卡车司机在维持全球经济方面的关键作用。它还标志着“D 计划”或“D 系统”在全球经济中的重要性；也就是说，支撑全球化的大量非正规或不受监管的经济活动。这项研究从欧盟的四个主要港口（包括北欧和南欧）开始研究这些交叉口。它需要与卡车司机、运输代理、运输代理以及海关和税务检查员进行研究。研究的重点是集装箱的物理内容与其价值以及盒子清单上这些内容的描述之间的潜在差距。因此，该研究解决了以不间断的货物流动为基础的全球经济与安全问题之间的冲突，安全问题开始将港口视为全球安全中最薄弱的环节。
