The 1990s saw significant advances in the development of a common transport policy for the EU. This book offers a lucid account and a sharp critique of the policy, arguing that a multi-faceted model of the policy process is needed which incorporates both regulatory and re-distributive (active) politics mechanisms. Robinson analyses policy development by focusing on single-market and environmentally motivated regulation, the development of the Trans-European Network initiative and activist policy designed to ameliorate the environmental effects of transport. He concludes that while regulatory policy is well developed, there has been almost total failure elsewhere, with very serious implications.
