As the world's population continues to grow, there is an ever
increasing need for huge investment in basic infrastructure: water
and sewage, energy production and distribution, transportation and
telecommunication. At the same time, infrastructure systems in
developed countries are deteriorating and in need of renewal.
Today, many of the engineering and economic problems surrounding
infrastructure construction projects have been solved, but the
threat of social misalignments and political conflicts renders the
development and management of such projects more challenging than
ever before. This book presents a new theoretical framework that
allows us to analyze the institutional and social movement
processes, both negative and positive, that surround global
infrastructure projects as they confront cross-national and
cross-sectoral (such as private-public partnerships) institutional
differences. The value of this framework is illustrated through a
series of studies on a wide range of infrastructure projects,
including roads, railroads, ports, airports, water supply and
energy pipelines.
