Globalisation is heavily dependent on physical transport, as people
and goods travel over longer distances and with higher frequency.
Movement and mobility have become integrated parts of late modern
identity and practice, and a state of flux can be sensed
everywhere. Bringing together the latest interdisciplinary
theoretical approaches with empirical case studies analysing and
appraising innovative policies from Scandinavia, this volume
demonstrates that mobility research is a key issue within social
enquiry. It addresses three broad themes. Firstly, mobility as a
constructed social reality, examining how individuals construct
notions of mobility in their everyday life and practice. Secondly,
mobility as spatial co-ordination and transgression, and finally,
mobility as a policy theme, where the contributors explore recent
developments in transport policy at national and European levels,
suggesting ways forward for both research and policy. In the final
section of the book new visions for research into sustainability
and mobility are laid out.
