This book is based on the premise that the increasing interdependence of the international economy requires supporting physical infrastructure to make it work. The authors have accordingly developed an integrative framework drawn from international political economy and corporate strategy literature to examine the interface between public policy and corporate strategy in network development within the context of the European Union's trans-European network (TENs) initiative.
