‘The chapters in this collection offer innovative, in-depth discussions of the regulatory, competitive, and restructuring challenges facing European policymakers as they cope with rapid technological change as well as resistance to reform and advances in economic and legal analysis. A majority of the chapters focus on the rail and air transport sectors, but more recent applications examined include data sharing, ridesharing apps, urban airspaces, and “cruise ferries”.’
