Managing Multinational Infrastructure: An analysis of EU Institutional Structures and Best Practices

By Willem van der Geest and Jorge Nunez-Ferrer
Asian Development Bank Institute
Working Paper No: 296
15 July 2011


Creating the framework for cross-border infrastructure cooperation often requires the active role of a third party, an "honest broker", to forge convergence of interests. In this paper, the authors take issue with the myth that transnational cross-border infrastructure cooperation is the result of supra-national decision-making at the EU level. Another myth this paper addresses is that the management of trans-national and cross-border infrastructure is primarily supra-national. Although additional co-financing may be sought from the European Community budget and/or the European Investment Bank, these resources always complement national budgetary allocations and private funding.
