Rezensionen
'This impressive contribution tackles difficult but timely questions about technology, integration, and governance. The case studies, focused on European transport, communication and energy infrastructures will appeal to a wide audience, as will the authors' deft comparative analysis and the editors' sure overview of the complex and contested terrain.' Thomas J. Misa, University of Minnesota, USA 'This is a timely book that informs the current debates on the future of our infrastructure governance. If you want to explore the various historical dimensions of this complex issue, read this book! The authors provide a rich set of case-studies paired with conceptual analysis. They compare various infrastructures across time and space, and they generate insights on long term continuities and infrastructural dynamics.' Johan Schot, University of Sussex, UK
