‘Rail Economics, Policy and Regulation in Europe’ is the latest titles issued by Edward Elgar Publishing. The book is edited by Matthias Finger and Pierre Messulam. The European railway sector has gone through profound, yet mostly institutional, changes over the past 20 years, owing mainly to the initiatives of the European Commission. This book constitutes a first systematic account and assessment of the recent transformations of the European railway sector, whilst also covering the main segments such as passenger transport, high speed and freight. The expert contributors have been charting these developments over the past five years. They provide a critical analysis of relevant, yet contentious, issues such as competition, unbundling, regulation, access charging, standards and interoperability, and public-private partnerships. Practically-minded academics, as well as academically-practitioners, interested in the railway sector and other public transport sectors will find this book to be a crucial read. It will also be of use to postgraduates studying infrastructure economics, policy and regulation. ‘Rail Economics, Policy and Regulation in Europe’ (ISBN 978-1-78347-332-8) is issued as a hardback and counts 376 pages. It can be bought in the better bookshop or direct with the publisher, Edward Elgar Publishing, The Lypiatts, 15 Lansdown Road, Cheltenham, Glos GL50 2JA, UK.
