Sustainability in European Transport Policy

More about the book

The book critically analyzes the EU's common transport policy, tracing its evolution through treaties and non-legislative documents. It employs a sustainability model to highlight the challenges of aligning sustainable development with economic growth and freedom of movement. The author identifies a fundamental contradiction in European policy that may intensify as environmental concerns grow. The argument posits that EU regulation must eventually confront this dichotomy, potentially prioritizing environmental and social protection over economic advancement.
