The governments of several countries are in the process of
reforming their regulatory regimes for the railways, and there is
much debate about the appropriate regulation of transport in
general and railways in particular--especially in light of
environmental concerns about traffic congestion and air pollution
and economic concerns about the financing of infrastructure and
services. This volume investigates how Britain and Germany
regulated their railways at three different points in time over the
past century: after the First World War, after the Second World
War, and in the 1990s. Its central focus is the design of
regulatory regimes and the impact of institutional factors on the
selection of design ideas and on processes of isomorphism. By
placing a comparative analysis of regulatory design in a historical
context and an institutional framework, the author contributes to
the current debate on the emergence of the regulatory state in the
late 20th century.
