Reviews

... this book provides a fitting introduction to a study of important variables, roles, and relationships of transport in development that are too infrequently treated in the literature. It brings together clashes of donor demands, national government ownership, and private enterprise in transportation amid changing economic needs, and illustrates the necessity of keeping transport systems abreast of advancing technologies. Read carefully, it will illustrate the requirements for increasing sophistication and complexity as a nations's transport system develops. It is a must candidate for the library of any serious student of development <br>. <br>- Journal of Developing Areas <br>
