GLOBALIZATION, INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT AND THE GLOBAL ENIURONMENT: TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION, POLICY MAKING AND THE REDUCTION OF TRANSPORTATION EMISSIONS
The opportunities and the feasibility of technological innovations in transport systems are evaluated in relation to goals of mitigating global air pollution and climate change. The paper forms the analytical framework for this technological assessment by the phase the life cycle theory in which technological innovations are related to the development phase of a transport system: introduction, growth, maturity and decline. Presented also are the different modes of transport spearheads for technological innovations based on a discussion of driving forces for technological development. The role of the government in exerting influence on these development paths is also discussed.
