17th International ITF/OECD Symposium on Transport Economics and Policy: Benefiting
from Globalisation
Transport Sector Contribution and Policy Challenges
The opportunities for individuals and businesses to benefit from globalisation are
increased by efficient, cost-effective transport networks. A competitive, responsive,
well-organised transport sector facilitates trade, but creating the conditions for
this poses policy challenges that must be tackled if transport is to contribute fully
to globalisation. This was the main theme of the 17th ITF/OECD Symposium.
These conference proceedings contain summaries of the opening session ceremonies and
discussions and the full text of the 16 papers presented as introductory reports for
the discussions. The reports cover such fields as data and trends, globalisation
and transport sector development, transport policy and regional integration, trade
and infrastructure, and international transport and domestic policy.
