Devolution of transport policy in Europe

Henk A. Gent and Peter Nijkamp

Chapter 2 in Transport Deregulation, 1991, pp 25-35 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Devolution of authority from central to decentralised levels seems to have become a widespread phenomenon in many countries. Related policy options such as deregulation, privatisation or public-private partnerships have gained much popularity, sometimes uncritically, especially in those countries where a return to sound market principles was regarded as an effective attack on bureaucratic inefficiencies inherent to a social welfare state.
