Transport and nation‐state governments worldwide
The review undertaken in this paper shows how, in 1981–82, governments of nation‐states of the world deal with the important function of Transport. How many ministers? What are the portfolio titles? Is there any global homogeneity? and other important questions. Tourism, because of its close links with Transport, is included.
The 1981–82 analysis deals with all nation‐states which each have a population of 2 000 000 or more people. This figure, as a base line, excludes some 79 small countries which are largely islands and have limited transport infrastructures, e.g. Malta (340 000), Seychelles (65 000), Kiribati (57 000). Presentation of the information is based on the World Bank Atlasmaps, in six Tables. In all, 111 nation‐states are reviewed.
A comparative study of thirteen major nation‐states for 1921, 1951 and 1981—82—the selection dictated by the information available—shows an interesting period of development and innovation by governments as transport technology and international services gradually spread to a global scale of operations during this 60 year period, necessitating a move to more comprehensive ministerial responsibility for Transport as a whole.
A main aim of the paper is to provide definitive base‐line information so that it may be used and consulted by readers and others as a source of reference on a global scale. It is hoped to update the information from time to time—an on‐going service provided by Transport Reviews.
