Book Description:

Transport policy was regarded sufficiently important to warrant its own title in the Treaty of Rome as an obvious and essential complement to the freedom of movement of persons, goods, services and capital. This book explores why European transport policies, caught in a complex web of practical, political and institutional pressures, were so slow to develop until driven forward with the internal market, and why any comprehensive and coherent policy may still prove elusive.
