Infrastructure only tends to be noticed when it is absent,
declining, or decrepit, or when enormous cost overruns, time
delays, or citizen protests make the headlines. If infrastructure
is indeed a fundamental driver of economic growth and social
development, why is it so difficult to get right? In addressing
this perennial question, this volume-the fourth edition in an
annual series tackling different aspects of governance around the
world-makes the case for a governance perspective on
infrastructure. This implies moving beyond rational economic
analysis of what should be done towards an analysis of the
political, institutional, and societal mechanisms that shape
decision-making about infrastructure investment, planning, and
implementation. Engaging with theories from sociology, political
science, and public administration, and drawing on empirical
analyses bridging OECD and non-OECD countries, the contributions to
this volume dissect the logics of infrastructure governance in a
novel way, providing timely analyses that will enrich both
scholarly and policy debates about how to get infrastructure
governance right.
