Inter‐agency transport planning: co‐ordination and governance structures
This article begins by clarifying the forms and means of co‐ordination peculiar to the governance structures of market, hierarchy and network. Co‐ordination in these structures is primarily achieved by competition, command and co‐operation, respectively. The case study focuses on co‐operation. It gives an account of how the administrative agencies of public roads, railways, civil aviation and coastal infrastructure work together in the Norwegian national transport planning process. The administrations take varying interest in the integrated plan and have different degrees of power in the co‐ordination process, which has caused some tension. The divergent co‐operation strategies chosen by the agencies are partly due to dissimilar sources of funding and organization models. These features and the degree of agency interest in the co‐ordination effort are influenced by the relative strength of market elements and hierarchical elements guiding their operations. It is therefore meaningful to explain the agencies' more or less co‐operative strategies by utilizing the concepts of governance structure and co‐ordination.
