Praeger Linking Europe: Transport Policies and Politics in the European Union

Long overlooked, transport is emerging as an important policy area for the European Union and is a growing source of political tension. This broad-based analysis of the European transport industry includes an in-depth examination of the four major modes: rail, road, air, and shipping, also the EU's growing cross-border transport links. Ross frames this discussion with a look at the role of transport in the overall European political economy―past, present, and future. Review For the transport professional as well as administrative offical and academics, this book provides very interesting and informative reading. . . . Whether one agrees with the author's position or not, Linking Europe makes for both instructive and interesting reading that will indeed satisfy most readers.-- " Transport Reviews" The book is an admirable addition to the sparse literature on the subject.-- " European Access" About the Author John F.L.
