Through an integrative framework developed by the authors and drawn from international political economy and corporate strategy literature, this book examines the interface between public policy and corporate strategy in network development within the context of the European Union's trans-European network (TENs) initiative.

'While many titles address either business strategy or policy-making, Johnson and Turner, both experts in international business, manage to reconcile the two, providing a valuable investigation into efforts to secure interwoven trans-European networks of infrastructure and services that will underpin the operations of the single market while embodying its very competitiveness.' - Paul J. Stephenson, Journal of Common Market Studies
