The twenty-first century will be the age of global interaction and organized patterns of networks. This important book addresses the strategic dimensions of networks, especially in transportation and information communication technology in Europe. The authors examine the challenges brought about by European unification and accession, through which a coherent and efficient European network system will need to be implemented. The topics addressed include the emergence of new network structures and strategies, the implications of European integration policies for network operations and developments, and the assessment of network synergy effects.
'Rudimentary notions and concepts of network analysis were introduced into the social sciences by Chorley and Haggett in the 1960s. With this volume, the field has reached maturity, as outstanding world scholars bring network-analytic notions and strategies to new levels, couched in a European transportation and communication policy space.' William R. Black, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA 'This book provides a rich and comprehensive insight into how transport and ICT networks are currently developing in the emerging European space-economy. It is a landmark in the field, by offering original reflections and new perspectives in the light of the latest EU policy analyses and strategies. This wide-ranging set of contributions should be of a great value to researchers interested in understanding the structure and evolution of diverse transport and spatial pathways, and hence of our future networked European society.'
