ABSTRACT
Transport policy is a shared competence in both the EU and the US, providing an interesting policy to study transatlantic cooperation within the multi-level governance approach. This chapter considers the institutional and political dynamics of transport policy in the EU, US, and the transatlantic context. Case studies of Open Skies, Container Safety, and vehicles and roadway agreements demonstrate the difficulty of achieving agreement when the US identifies security (counter-terrorism) as the primary objective. Regulatory issues, security concerns, and transnational actors each shape the outcome of transatlantic convergence in transport policy.
