Globalization and Regional
Integration
How was the European airline industry transformed from national fragmentation
in 1957 to a point in 2006 where the European Commission could negotiate with
the United States for an Open Aviation Area on behalf of all twenty-five
members of the European Union? What can explain the change in mindset that
saw conservatism and the tight regulation of the airline industry being replaced
with increased competitiveness and the subsequent rise of the low-cost no-frills
airline? In his new book, Alan P. Dobson draws from a mass of European docu-
mentation, including interviews with officials and airline executives and a
unique collection of personal papers, to answer these questions.
Dobson traces the liberalization of the airline industry from the 1970s right
through to the present day, illustrating how integration came about and which
forces were driving it. The approach is comprehensive, focusing on the work of
the Commission, market forces, the voices of airline industry interests and on
key individuals in the policy-making process. The story concludes with an
overview of the attempts by the EU and the United States to create an Open Avi-
ation Area, which would embrace their respective airline industries allowing
free operation of services throughout their territories and mutual ownership and
control of each other’s airlines.
This book will be of great interest to students and researchers interested in
aviation and international policy, as well as academics engaged with European
integration, globalism and economic history.
Alan P. Dobson is Professor of Politics and the Director of the Institute for
Transatlantic European and American Studies at the University of Dundee, Scot-
land.
