Europe's Infrastructure Transition by Arne Kaijser
Europe's infrastructure both united and divided peoples and places via economic systems, crises, and wars. Europe's Infrastructure Transition reframes the conflicted story of modern European history by taking material networks as its point of departure.
“In Europe’s Infrastructure Transition, Högselius, Kaijser, and van der Vleuten have done an impressive job tracing the symbiotic relations between transportation and communication systems, between system-building and border-building, and between technocracy and natureThe writing is highly readable and the arguments compelling. … This book will therefore likely appeal to academic and non-academic readers alike, and is quite suitable for collegiate classroom use. … this is a thoughtful, engaging, and important book.” (Nicholas Ostrum, CritCom, councilforeuropeanstudies.org, June, 2016)
