Description:

Air Transport and the European Union examines the emergence of the EU as a major actor in aviation. It investigates how the EU was able to develop a common policy despite the existence of an established sectoral regime and against the opposition of most European states and their 'flag carriers'.

Synopsis:

European aviation has undergone a revolution since the late 1980s. Liberalization has transformed a sector historically characterized by state interventionism, protectionism and collusion. Despite member state opposition to its involvement, the European Union has become a major force in aviation and the driver of far-reaching change. The book explores how the EU emerged as an actor in aviation, investigates the broadening of policy and examines the impact of EU action on policy and policy-making in the member states and on the industry and its governance beyond. Challenging existing theories and approaches, it argues that greater attention needs to be paid to the international context at all stages of policy development. In exploring the effects of its action on national policy and policy-making in four leading aviation states, the book demonstrates that the EU's impact can most accurately be measured by beginning the analysis at the national level.
