Transport has become a major concern on both social and economic
grounds in the late-twentieth century. This concern arises from a
perception of the industry's failure to respond to the rapid growth
in demand and to the threat of congestion and environmental
pollution. A solution has been sought in economic policies
dominated by ideas of liberalization and deregulation. This volume
moves the debate an important step further by pointing out that the
argument is not simply one of regulation as opposed to
deregulation, but between different degrees and forms of
regulation. It also analyses the effects of regulation through the
study of how the modes of transport adjust to the changing
regulatory environment. This collection of original essays is
written by a prestigious group of contributors and draws on
economics, sociology, planning, political science and industrial
relations. They focus on both a national and international
perspective, including contributions analyzing urban transport,
railways, shipping, ports and aviation. This work offers a timely
and comprehensive assessment of the extent of changes in transport
regulatory policies. It casts specific doubt on much of the
perceived wisdom on deregulation. These are clearly written and
richly informed studies which will stimulate and enlighten both
students and scholars of regulation, as well as the lay reader with
an interest in transport.
