Presenting recent research on the international integration of infrastructures in Europe, this book combines general and methodological chapters and examples from a variety of different sectors such as transport, electricity and communication networks. The wide range of topics gives a good overview of the different challenges posed and the strategies employed in each sector to establish internationally compatible networks, procedures and standards. This work strengthens comparative research as a complement to the detailed analysis of singular cases that often characterises previous works in this field.…mehr
