Europe's critical infrastructure is a key concern to policymakers,
NGOs, companies, and citizens today. A 2006 power line failure in
northern Germany closed lights in Portugal in a matter of seconds.
Several Russian-Ukrainian gas crises shocked politicians,
entrepreneurs, and citizens thousands of kilometers away in
Germany, France, and Italy. This book argues that present-day
infrastructure vulnerabilities resulted from choices of
infrastructure builders in the past. It inquires which, and whose,
vulnerabilities they perceived, negotiated, prioritized, and
inscribed in Europe's critical infrastructure. It does not take
'Europe' for granted, but actively investigates which countries and
peoples were historically connected in joint interdependency, and
why. In short, this collection unravels the simultaneous historical
shaping of infrastructure, common vulnerabilities, and Europe.
