Abstract: Abstract The development of trans-European networks (TENs) is central to the EU’s integration strategy through underpinning the smooth functioning of its constituent economies. Traditionally, European infrastructure was developed in a piecemeal fashion by nation states (via collective provision) to meet their own requirements. TENs, if realised in the form envisaged by the Commission, will represent an important shift in the pattern of network development as their evolution will be more pluralistic and market driven. This chapter sets out the broad European context for the framework of network development identified in the previous chapter by noting and accounting for shifts in the policy/corporate strategy interface that are driving TENs. The objectives are to note the process of regime change within infrastructure development as it shifts from a process of control and to examine the role that supranational forces and their interaction with national political processes play in generating this process of change.
