  abstract     = {{This study evaluates the practice of the security provisions in ADR (the Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) for the first time. A qualitative case study of an organisational field was undertaken, comprising fourteen semi-structured interviews with four government agencies and eight logistics firms in transportation of dangerous goods in Sweden. Four evaluation criteria were used: security, legitimacy, efficiency, and effectiveness. The results show a lack of common ground and understanding of security. The view of security incidents and threats is fragmented, and security has varying priority among logistics firms. Compared to other security programmes, the security provisions provide limited guidance, have low legitimacy and a negative impact on efficiency. There is a system level perception that the security provisions are ineffective based on a complex regulation, limited compliance monitoring, limited information sharing, and a lack of learning culture. Furthermore, the lack of structured approach to performance measurement and management limits the understanding of strengths and weaknesses. Further research may conduct a process evaluation to diagnose whether the ineffectiveness of the security provisions is implementation failure or theory failure. Finally, this research makes a contribution to theory building by applying the Freight Transportation Security System model.}},
