    <![CDATA[This text presents case studies of rail transport policy-making in two UK passenger transport authority areas and reviews the factors informing such policy-making. The book contributes to transport geography by firstly explaining why the actual policies implemented in Strathclyde and Merseyside were pursued, and secondly, the continuing development of the political science theory of &quot;the urban policy regime&quot;. By analyzing how policy was developed under the &quot;city-regional&quot; (Strathclyde) and the &quot;public choice&quot; (Merseyside), geographical structures of local governance, this book demonstrates that the spatial organization of local institutions plays a powerful role in determining the operation of the local &quot;regime&quot; that is the elite group of individuals who lead policy-making.]]>

    <![CDATA[This informed and lively book offers a timely analysis of the UK government's sustainable - or subsequently 'integrated' - transport policy 10 years after the publication of &quot;A New Deal for Transport: Better for Everyone&quot;. Written by prominent transport experts and with a foreword by Christian Wolmar, the book identifies the modest successes and, sadly, the far more significant failures in government policy over the last decade. The authors also uncover why it has proved so difficult to adopt a more sustainable approach to transport and break Britain's love-affair with the car.The book reviews the links between the idea of sustainability and transport policy, and provides an up-to-the-minute analysis of the political realities surrounding the delivery of a sustainable transport agenda in the UK. It picks up on the principal components of &quot;A New Deal for Transport&quot; and evaluates to what extent these have, or haven't, been delivered in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.  The contributors analyse why delivering sustainable transport policies seems to present particular difficulties to ministers across the UK, and considers the UK's experience in an international perspective. The book draws lessons from the last 10 years in order to better inform future policy development. &quot;Traffic Jam&quot; is an indispensable analysis of the difficulties involved in turning policy ideals into practical reality, and as such will be of interest to scholars, students, planners, policy analysts and policy makers.]]>

    <![CDATA[The British state has long been regarded as one of the most stable and centralised political structures in the world, and devolution represents one of the most significant changes to its fabric in 300 years. To date research on devolution in the UK has largely focused on core public policy areas such as health, economic development and social welfare. Work on transport has been somewhat limited, despite its increased policy prominence in recent years. This book presents a thorough academic investigation into the impact of devolution on the formulation and delivery of transport policy in the UK. Using detailed interviews with key policy makers, transport providers, business organisations and user groups, the authors draw upon concepts and ideas from across the social sciences to inform their analysis. The picture that emerges is distinctly mixed: there are elements of both convergence and divergence in the strategies and policies adopted by the devolved administrations, and marked variations in the overall performance of these administrations in transport are uncovered. Ultimately, though, devolution on its own is an insufficient basis for improved policy performance what matters is the generation of enough strategic capacity to promote real change for the better. <br/><br/><br/><br/>About the authors<br/>Danny MacKinnon is Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Aberdeen.<br/><br/>Jon Shaw is Reader in Human Geography and Director of the Centre for Sustainable Transport at the University of Plymouth.<br/><br/>Iain Docherty is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Management at the University of Glasgow.<br/><br/>* This book presents a thorough academic investigation into the impact of devolution on the formulation and delivery of transport policy in the UK. <br/><br/>* The authors draw upon concepts and ideas from across the social sciences to inform their analysis by using detailed interviews with key policy makers, transport providers, business organisations and user groups.]]>
