This Reader provides a critical review of British transport policy since the Labour Government came into office in 1997 and looks at possible solutions to Britain's ongoing transport problems. It brings together the best recent articles on transport from the quarterly Public Money & Management, now revised and updated, with specially-written additional studies. The readings are a source of well-informed opinion and ideas on topics such as private-public partnerships, delivering a sustainable transport policy, new opportunities for the railways, and evaluating the Government's Ten Year Plan for transport. They are written by leading practitioners and academics, and contain much original research material. Throughout, the emphasis is on critical discussion of how policies are being delivered in practice, and on constructive ideas for improvement.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
