Transport, Economy, Society and State: Perspective on the Context of Transport
Abstract
The need for better transport services has stimulated interdisciplinary teaching and research aimed at understanding the web of transport relations in society, economy and state. Using these categories, an effort is made to present a broader account of transport relations than has been written thus far. Some consideration is also given to the different relations of transport identified by adopting scientific, humanist and political-economic perspectives.References
