New Conditions for Decision-making and Coordination in Transport? Corporatisation and Division in the Danish Railway Sector

During the last 15-20 years, reforms inspired by so-called New Public Management (NPM) have swept the public sector in large parts of the world. This is also the case in the transport sector. One can divide NPM reforms roughly into two groups, reforms regarding internal organisation, and reforms that are interorganisational and regard the organisation of the public service (Klausen and Ståhlberg, 1998: 11-12). This chapter deals with interorganisational reforms.
